[SRX5308] Warranty return - need to wipe it or leave some marks?
I am asking community, because I have all the support options disabled for now. I am replacing SRX5308 under RMA #1760362 due to sudden and frequent connection loses. If device is going to be investigated by team, I can leave some of its configuration (subnets, communities, domains, netfilter rules) with only sensitive config (keys, certs, accounts) removed. Will it help with case or it will be asserted "faulty hardware, not a software case?" I'd really like to have any reply from engineering team.
Thanks in advance
Hi MWisniewski,
Welcome to the community! :)
Returned units will go through general hardware testing upon return. It is best that you remove the certificates, user accounts and keys before you send the faulty unit for replacement.
If ever you have received the replacement unit, be sure to observe if the same problem will occur after you have set it up. If ever its still the same problem, you may still seek assistance from NETGEAR Support in reference with the RMA #1760362 that was provided to you.

Thanks for help. Of course sensitive data was erased (I left PSK lengths as descriptions in PSK fields). All users were removed. Other info is left untouched - subnets, AD domain name - all is on its place. I can provide any other info needed, as network structure, hardware models and configuration of directly attached device, just to reproduce error in development environment. Problem is seen after few days of constant work (can be avoided with scheduled restarts, but we have data replication at night, so no time is good for reboot).
Hi MWisniewski,
Have you already receive your replacement unit? Hope that its all working fine.
