Switch firmware versions MS 17.2.2 changelog

Ms12x important notes

  • MS 16 introduced DAI on MS100 series platforms. If you are upgrading to a current release from MS 15 or earlier please ensure trusted ports and/or DAI-allow lists are configured prior to upgrading.

New feature highlights

  • DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring)
  • Intelligent Capture
  • SmartPorts Automation

New ms130x feature highlights

  • Adaptive Policy on MS130X/R models

New ms150 feature highlights

  • Static routing on all MS150 models

General fixed issues

  • Fixed an issue that caused switch stacks to learn MAC addresses from ports in the STP blocking state, triggering MAC flap messages in the event log
  • Fixed a bug that caused an unexpected LACP discarding state when connected to third party firewalls
  • Resolved an issue that sometimes prevented communication between VLANs on switches in stack configurations
  • Resolved a bug that caused the Ping tool in the Client details page to fail to display data on Dashboard for wired clients
  • Resolved a bug that occasionally caused switches in stack configurations to crash and reboot

Ms120 fixed issues

  • Resolved an issue that sometimes caused MS120 switches to unexpectedly reboot after upgrading to MS 17.2.1

Ms130 fixed issues

  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused switches to fail to deliver PoE, and could cause all ports to display as disconnected in Dashboard

Ms220 fixed issues

  • Resolved an issue that caused MS220 switches to reboot after updating to MS 17

Ms355 fixed issues

  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused SFP ports to fail to connect after a firmware upgrade
  • Resolved a bug that sometimes caused a stack member to go offline when a stacking cable was disconnected and reconnected

Ms425 fixed issues

  • Resolved a bug that occasionally caused MS425 switches in stack configurations to unexpectedly reboot
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused fail to collect reporting data on all SFP ports, or to only report data on port 1

General known issues

  • Clients authenticating via 802.1X with an access policy using hybrid authentication may not correctly log their RADIUS sessions
  • Clients that fail to pass RADIUS authentication and are connected to ports using access policies may get stuck in an authentication loop, possibly resulting in a switch reboot
  • In rare circumstances switches may experience uplink instability when IPv6 link-local addresses are enabled. If this issue is encountered it can be resolved by enabling IPv6 RA Guard to block ICMPv6 neighbor discovery messages.
  • LACP links may take an extended time to come back up when the Active Member of a stack reboots
  • Some switches may encounter an error, "incompatible configuration for attributes: allowed_vlans" when attempting to aggregate ports regardless of allowed VLANs configured in Dashboard
  • On MS250 and MS350 switches, MAC addresses learned via AGGR are not removed when LAG ports are disabled. Mac addresses will be removed correctly within 5 minutes of reenabling LAG ports.

Ms120 known issues

  • Switches may fail to provide PoE power to legacy access points (always present)
  • Cable tests may report incorrect cable lengths

Ms220 known issues

  • Client devices connected to ports 24-48 on MS220-48LP switches may have their DHCP offers and ARP replies erroneously dropped

Ms225 known issues

  • MS225 switches may infrequently stop forwarding client traffic until the switch is rebooted
  • In rare circumstances, switches in stack configurations may experience a software crash that results in a reboot

Ms250 known issues

  • Switchport with Multi-Domain Hybrid auth access policy randomly goes into a port not forwarding state

Ms350x known issues

  • Switches may experience an unexpected reboot (present since MS 15)

Ms355 known issues

  • In rare instances, stack ports fail to initialize after an upgrade (always present)

Ms410 known issues

  • Some MS410 switches may encounter alerts for fan failures that will eventually self-resolve

Ms425 known issues

  • Frequent notifications about new DHCP servers that have mismatched VLANs/subnets
  • In rare circumstances MS425 switches may encounter a software crash that results in a reboot
  • Powering off the active switch in a MS425 stack may result in up to 5 minutes of downtime while the stack reconverges
  • Switches in stack configurations may experience high CPU utilization in multicast scenarios that may result in network instability

Other

  • 17 introduces a change to the default login credentials for the device local status page, using "admin" as the username, and the device serial number (upper case with dashes) as the password
