Smart Managed Pro Switch and TLS 1.2 support
With the recent release of Firefox (v74) any SSL connection that's not connecting at TLS 1.2 is flagged. I don't believe the Smart Managed Pro models support 1.2 (not even 1.1, just 1.0), do they? ...
If Netgear needs a feature request from the community to even consider implementing TLS 1.2 on their business line of switches, then maybe Netgear is in the wrong business. Securing communication between client and switch interface should not be an afterthought.
Here's the most recent RFC about the IETF completely deprecating TLS 1.0 and 1.1:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-oldversions-deprecate/
... and TLS 1.2 has been around since 2008:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246
However, while suggesting TLS 1.3 might be appropriate for a feature request, it's only very embarassing for Netgear that their switches only support up to TLS 1.0.
Could be my words - almost convinced Netgear would find the similar text in the email archives several years ago already 8-)

Gee, many newer Netgear switch model lines support TLS 1.2 for a long time.
Also missing is the ability to create CSR, to upload certificate and private key in a reasonable way.
