Nexus 7710 Firmware 7.3.4.D1.1.bin

[CalebDaniels6945]

I am using Nexus 7710 switches on multiple networks and have updated the firmware on a some of the hardware already. The system file is n7700-s2-dk9.7.3.4.D1.1.bin & n7700-s2-kickstart.7.3.4.D1.1.bin is the kickstart file. I was recently informed the latest recommended firmware version for the system file on a Nexus 7710 is now n7700-s2-dk9.7.3.5.D1.1.bin - but the kickstart recommendation has not changed. Am I taking a serious security/vulnerability hit to continue using the previous system .bin file to finish upgrading the Nexus 7710s on my remaining networks, or are the improvements offered by this new recommendation deemed inconsequential enough to assume the risk?

Hi

This new release is the recommended because lot of bugs are addressed and fixed some vulnerabilities as well.

You can check the release note to see if you're impacted by any bugs.
I personally always suggest going with the recommended version to make sure you run the latest most stable version.
