Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the issue where the device may fail to boot after pressing the factory default button on the front panel .
• Fixed the issue where the debugging URL of ‘devshell’ is accessible without authentication.

Known issues:

1. While the link is up, port cannot be removed from a VLAN if it is also member of a LAG.
   Workaround: Remove the link or remove the port from the LAG first.
2. After setting the maximum number of allowed static locked MAC address to zero (under Security > Traffic Control > Port Security > Interface Configuration), no static MAC address can be added even when port security is disabled.
   Workaround: Change back the "Max Allowed Statically Locked MAC" from 0 to 20.
3. Can’t remove a policy entry completely in the table under QoS > Diffserv > Advanced > Policy Configuration the first time.
   Workaround: Need to select the same entry and click DELETE again.
4. In some cases, the device may fail to boot after pressing the factory default button on the front panel.
   Workaround: Please reboot the device manually.
