Known Issues:

• After a config clear, the original VLAN 1 profile lingers for up to 1 minute on first login. All configurations have been cleared; there is no functional impact.
• Kramer AV Single-VLAN Profile Cannot Be Modified When Using VLAN 1:
  If a Kramer AV profile is created with a single VLAN and that VLAN is VLAN 1, the profile cannot be modified to another single-VLAN profile.
  Workaround: Use a VLAN ID other than VLAN 1 when creating a single-VLAN Kramer AV profile.
