M4250-10G2XF-PoE+ Firmware 13.0.5.6

Hello, I somehow downloaded and installed firmware version 13.0.5.6 from Netgear, and now I see the most current firmware is 13.0.4.26. Is 13.0.5.6 an official version or is something wrong with it, so it was removed?

    Hello CC027

     

    And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂

     

    The firmware 13.0.5.6 was removed from site for the reason that multiple reports of high CPU usage created by unknown multicast hitting the CPU. This result in high CPU usage, dropped packets, broken multicast streams and switches becoming unresponsive. Any customers who has upgraded to one of these firmware should refer to our site and install the current latest firmware available.

     

    Have a lovely day,
