Recommended firmware caos

[AdrianO]

Hello community,

I´d like to ask if someone can clarify what firmware version is the recommended as today by Extreme for (EXOS-Switch Engine) x440-G, X450G2, X460-G2 and 5320.

The problem is that in the compatibility-matrices/sw-release-extremexos-eos the recommended version is 32.7.1.9-Patch1-49, which is retired as per field notice

In the downloads home page the version with recommended tag is  33.2.1.12

On the products page, version 33.2.1.12 has the recommend tag but 32.7.2.19 is the maintenance version.

As I understand it, the recommended version should be on the maintance branch, at least. Maybe I dont understant it but I think something is wrong here.

Extreme typically designates "Recommended" versions based on feature updates (e.g., 33.x for newer features) and "Maintenance" (e.g., 32.x) for stability. While 33.2.1.12 is currently tagged as Recommended, 32.7.2.19 remains the stable/maintenance branch. Always check release notes for known issues and align with your needs (new features vs. stability). Confirm with Extreme support if documentation discrepancies persist.
