Issues This Firmware Resolves

1. Adds traffic statistics for RADIUS accounting package at the end of user session.
2. Expands the number of ACL rules per port from 8 to 23.
3. Supports per MAC address based access authorization.
4. Supports new FSM7352PS POE stackable switch.

Outstanding Issues

1. POE port display is slow. It might take a couple of minutes to display POE port status when FSM7352PS is in a stack.
2. Sometimes “show poe port” command may display incorrect data.
3. Inconsistent firmware version is reported by CLI and SNMP agent.
4. During soft reboot via reload CLI command, sometimes the switch crashes.

To Install

The upgrade requires a TFTP server. If you do not have such utility, go to this site to download the free software: http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm. Follow their instructions to install it on your server.

1. Download the link below to a PC with TFTP server, placing it in the TFTP home/root directory. This is a large file!

2. Start a command line interface either through console or through telnet.
3. Verify information such as the IP address for the TFTP Server, the Gateway IP address, and the filename and its path of the new image (path is “.” if the file is under TFTP root directory).
4. Type en to get into enable mode.
5. Type config to get into configure mode.
6. Type stack to get into stacking command mode.
7. Type archive download-sw tftp://<ip address of the tftp server>/<path>/fsm73xxs_4_0_4_5.stk. For example, if the file is saved in the root directory of tftp server at IP address 192.168.0.100, type
archive download-sw tftp://192.168.0.100/./fsm73xxs_4_0_4_5.stk
The switch displays a message about transferring file, updating STK file and extracting components. Eventually, it displays "STK file transfer successful and all units updated".
8. Reboot the switch.
Do not power off or reboot the switch until the archive command is completed. Interrupting the switch while it is extracting component will cause the switch application to not be able to start.
