Hi Melen,

Thanks for providing this, can you explain how this file / firmware is different to the version available under the official link here:

I've downloaded your file and the one from the below link and the files are different,:

Hi @saqib_s,

The difference is that the date code firmware adds ingress filtering by default. This is used to avoid receiving packets with the VLAN ID which does not belong to this port, and flood to that VLAN member ports.

So the file you've posted is the date code firmware. Will this feature be included in the a main branch upgrade in the future?

Hi @saqib_s,

Yes, this feature will be included in the next official firmware. I will inform you once it is released.
