NETGEAR FS750T2 Switch Firmware 1.1.2_05

Modifications / Fixes:

 - Disallows flooding of LACP packets (DA with 01:80:C2:00:00:02) and 802.1X packets (DA with 01:80:C2:00:00:03) to other port.
- Fixes the issue that pause frames are sent with illegal source MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. It is now changed to 00:00:00:00:00:0X; where X is the device port number.
- Resolves the issue of switch not receiving broadcast or multicast frames when Spanning Tree feature (STP) is enabled.
- Adds an error message when restoring configuration settings from an empty file.
- Fixes the problem that unplugging and plugging one of the trunking ports while packet is being transmitted could cause switch to hang.
- Resolves the rebooting problem when running the tool "NetworkView" while in discovery-mode.

Installation Procedure:

1. Download the new firmware and store in a convient location in your local computer (e.g., download).
2. Start Smartwizard Discovery utility, which is included on the CD that came with your Smart Switch. If you have not installed, please install it.
3. On Smartwizard window, click Discover to locate your Smart Switch. The switch is listed in the device list table once it is found. Note: Smartwizard uses broadcast packet to locate Smart Switches. This means that it can only locate Smart Switches located within the same routing domain.
4. Highlight the Smart Switch to upgrade and click Firmware Upgrade.
5. Follow the screen prompts to complete the upgrade. Smartwizard reports a successful completion at the end of update.

About Switch Firmware:

Given the large variety of models and different methods for upgrading the switch, if you wish to apply this package, we recommend that you read and understand the installation steps before you install a new firmware, even if you are a power user.

Usually the update procedure isn’t much of a hassle as manufacturers try to make it as simple as possible; however, there are cases that are exceptions to this rule. First off, go to the system information page of the switch to check that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.

Applying a new firmware can decrease the security vulnerabilities, enhance overall performance and compatibility, improve various power management functions, resolve different errors, and add support for newly developed technologies and protocols.

It is recommended that you perform this step in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit, and that you don’t interrupt the upgrade in any way, because this might cause the switch to malfunction.

That being said, click the download button, get and apply the new version, and check back with our website constantly to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
