GS324T Firmware uploaded and info displayed under system

Hi.

Coming here because (1) the complentary support is awalys shorter than any question one can have and (2) because even after buyinf a "contract" no ones pays atention.

Just a curiosity for now: I (think I did) updates the firmaware of a GT324T to v1.0..0.34 and I can see that under Versions, Software Version on the System page. However, the Boot Version is B1.0.0.5.

 

a - Am I missing something in my updated steps?

b - What's the boot version?

 

Thanks in advance

    The boot section is rarely updated, and only of required - because the update process inherits certain risks.

    Can't see any boot loader update along with the firmware.update. No.

    Something similar low level like the BIOS for a computer.
