MS510TXM, firmware V1.0.5.21
Updated a couple of switches to this new firmware V1.0.5.21 from 1.0.5.17, and within 72 hours, each switch suddenly failed. Am running multiple VLANs, and all of a sudden the VLANs would stop workin...
Version1.0.5.23 seems to be stable - . Just completed 7 days without any issues. Will close the topic on the 10th-day.
All's good.
Same for any kind of network equipment - no matter which brand: Always run a syslog server, recording the complete syslog trace. So you might have an idea what went wrong, and don't have to query the crystal ball.
Unfortunately, the syslog server was only capturing informational notices at the time, and they didn't shed any light on things. I've switched it across to debug. So far, it's been 3 days without another hiccup for 1 switch, and the second switch only 2 days. If nothing happens in the next 7 days, I'll switch the log back to information, and consider the whole thing to be just an odd hiccup with the firmware.
My initial message here - reporting it and asking for assistance - was also to assess if others have had a similar thing to happen.
Another crash happened earlier today whilst out. Nothing noted on the syslog server about the crash. My conclusion is the firmware is buggy! Reverted back to 1.0.5.17.
Will wait for a future version....
- I’m seeing the exact same symptoms here. First locked up on Sunday 4/21, 2nd occurrence today 4/24. I have now rolled back to the previous firmware (V1.0.5.17) which I too found to be very stable..
