M4300-52G-POE+ Bricked Recovery Method
Anyone knows how to recover from a power outage that bricked my M4300 ? M4300-52G-POE+ We had an outage. Power came back on, then the unit boots but none of the 52-ports came back up. The OOB port lights up when plugged into, but nothing. Then I console it and got the readout. It didn't even get past port0 and stalled out. Here is the vid: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7Q5zGWaNzxY About 8 seconds into it and the screen will show upM4300 Stack Firmware Upgrade
Hi All, We have been updating our M4300's firmware to latest. We have a range of stacked and unstacked switches and they have been fine. We have one stack which comprises of 8 physical M4300-52G-PoE+ switches. Currently they are running 12.0.15.7 and I simply tried to move to next version 12.0.17.6. I start the upload the non-active image using https and it starts the process. After about 5-10 mins the page stops working and the ping drops (everything that connects to these switches goes offline) All lights are amber (that have connected ports). We left this for around 30-40 mins. In the end I had to power down these switches (all 8) and bring them all back on. Connections were restored at this point but the images are what they were at before. Anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions. Is there any logs on these devices to see if I can see whats going on? Thanks,M4300 (GSM4352PS V1) : can't get kernel image
Hi Netgear Users and Administrators, I have a little problem with my M4300 GSM4352PS V1. There's possibility that image2 is broken. Device is actually booting from image2. On the console I see that can't boot from image and i see "ERROR: can't get kernel image". I supose that the image1 is a good conditional. Best Redgards PawelAdd support for M4300 series to NMS300
Hi, it would be nice to manage the M4300 series in NMS300, so please add support to backup the switches config via Telnet (or HTTP/S). See also this post as it shows some errors while using NMS300 to backup config from a M4300 switch: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/NMS300-switch-config-backup-M4300/m-p/1090642 Thanks and best regards.Netgear M4300-28G-PoE+ & Dante/AMX
Hallo zusammen, wir haben 3 M4300-28G-PoE+ im Einsatz, die mit 10G Kupfer bzw. 10G Glas untereinander verbunden sind. Soweit funktionieren die Switche auch Netze, VLAN's, Multicast usw. alles gut. Aber leider haben wir ein Problem mit Dante/AMX. So lange die Dante/AMX Geräte auf einen Switch hängen sehen sich alle Geräte im Dante/AMX Controller. Sobald man die Geräte auf mehreren Switchen verteilt, sieht z.B. der Dante Controller die Geräte nicht mehr. Alle Geräte sind jedoch pingbar und erreichbar. Weiß jemand, woran das liegen könnte? Ich weiß, dass dies nicht zwingend eine Netgear Frage ist, aber vielleicht kennt sich hier jemand mit Dante usw. aus. Laut Dante wird keine spezielle Konfiguration benötigt...

On Thursday Jan. 12, 2017, new Software-Defined Video over Ethernet Alliance (SDVoE) is announced with AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Sony and ZeeVee Founding Members. The SDVoE Alliance will standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments and create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology that allows software to define AV applications. Professional AV environments will be able to transition from circuit-based HDBASE-T matrix switchers to packet-based (multicast) 10G Ethernet switches for transporting Audio-Video signals in healthcare, entertainment, hospitality, retail, etc.. The Alliance will debut at Integrated Systems Europe 2017 (ISE) in Amsterdam Netherlands, February 7-10. NETGEAR offers the widest range of cost-effective 10Gbps switches from web and smart-managed 8-port devices to fully managed 48-port solutions with an ever increasing portfolio. By supporting the SDVoE standard, this is definitely our intent to make video distribution more efficient and flexible for the professional AV market! Regards,
M4300-28G-POE+: LAG + Port Mirroring results in high number of Transmit Packet Discards
Hello, I have an issue with a M4300-28G-POE+ model. The setup I have is quite simple: * 2x1 Gbit links are used which are batched into a LAG * The LAG is mirrored to a probe port. * Jumbo packets are configured. When I generate network traffic on the two links, the 10Gbit uplink receives each of the packets of the LAG of course, but when I am listening on the probe port, ~40% of the packets are dropped. In the Detailed Port Statistics I can see the following: Total Packets Transmitted Successfully: 161364755 Transmit Packets Discarded: 73094691 This example was taken from a scenario when the overall network traffic on the LAG was ~170Mbit/s and on the probe port I measured ~100Mbit/s I've tried to change the configuration based on hints in the Netgear Community threads (like this, since the observation is quite similar: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-Click-Switches/GS724T-High-number-of-Transmit-Packet-Errors/m-p/393029#M257). When I am not using Jumbo packets but LAG, I observe the same issue. I've updated the firmware to 12.0.2.15 but the issue still occurs on my test environment. Are there any suggestions how to deal with this problem? Best, I.
