M4300-28G slow WebGUI and unable to clear port statistics
M4300-28G slow WebGUI and unable to clear port statistics. Firmware 12.0.17.16. I have two of these switches trunked over fibre. One of them clears port stats fine, the other just doesn't do anythin...
Thanks schumaku.
What's the correct way to save the switch's configuration to file? There seem to be several export options and I'm not sure which is best.

Depends where you coming from. The generic school training answer would be to write the config to a tftp server - that's the industry standard supported by most managed switch and router brands.
If starting from the green field you might want to start with the NETGEAR Engage Controller available for Windows or MacOS.
You need to figure out yourself what is best for your use case. For my part, as an old network crow I tend towards K.I.S.S.
Needless to say any approach requires you to establish a reliable backup scheme for your network device configs, no matter which path you go.
Thanks for the tips. I'll probably explore Engage.
There are many export options available in the webGUI, but this is a completely closed AV Network and access out of it is not allowed. In the meantime I downloaded a couple of text configs, but I'm not sure if they can be imported, in fact, what I don't see in the Maintenance section is a way to import configs.
