Firmware Update: Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeSwitch 1.7.4

Ubiquiti Networks has released version 1.7.4 of the firmware for the EdgeMax EdgeSwitches. The EdgeSwitches are characterized by extensive setting options, but require some network knowledge to get it running properly. Also, not all settings can be adjusted via the gui and you will therefore have to start via the command line. The list of changes looks like this:

• [Simple GUI] Added brand new simple web-interface design to provide a better experience using the Graphical User Interface (GUI). It provides an intuitive, faster way to configure and display the status of EdgeSwitches. Note: The change to simple GUI will be applied directly and the old GUI is still useable.
