New Features and Enhancements:

  1. For compliance with California state law, the default "password" must be changed when you log into the switch for the first time.
  2. To configure SNMPv3, Authentication Protocol must be configured as MD5 or SHA. The 'none' option for Authentication Protocol is no longer allowed.
  3. Changed the default setting of the Smart Control Center (SCC) management from enabled to disabled. Note: SCC Utility can still discover the switch.

Bug Fixes:

  1. There is no rejection or warning when adding a new ACL rule beyond the maximum number of rules that the system can handle. The new rule simply disappears after a system reboot.

Known Issues:

  1. SFP+ model AXM765 cannot be used as a 10G stacking. Workaround: Use other SFP+ models instead, including the AXM761, AXM762, or AXM763; or DAC cable with the AXC761 or AXC763.

Installation Notes:

Since release 6.6.4.7, firmware 6.6.4.x enables M4300-12X12F and M4300-24X to mix-stack with S3300 series of Smart Switches.

Below are special notes and restrictions when stacking these two series of switches. These are the same contents as in the release notes of 6.6.4.7.

1.   M4300-12X12F/M4300-24X (thereafter referred to as M4300) and S3300 series have separate 6.6.4.x images to support this mixed stacking.

For the detailed procedures regarding M4300/S3300 firmware upgrading, please refer to section "Smart M4300/S3300 Firmware Upgrade Procedure" in S3300 User Manual (page 356~359) of 6.6.4.x firmware.

2.   On the two M4300 models, maximum 4 10G ports (any 4 from below 8 available ports) can be configured as stacking ports.

3.   M4300 with 6.6.4.x image scales down to S3300 feature set to become part of the stacking.

4. New features for M4300 running smart 6.6.4.x image.

Known issues

[Workaround]: Use other SFP+ models AXM761, AXM762, AXM763 or DAC cable AXC761/AXC763 instead.
