- When the VLAN1 IP address is changed using the CLI, the default-gateway disappears.
- In the WebUI for the 62xx, the “Time” column in the RMON Event Control screen is showing sysUpTime (seconds that the switch has been running). It should be showing the last time an event was generated. The CLI is working correctly

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
#######################################################################

NOTE: The firmware may be upgraded using TFTP from the serial console 
interface, telnet or web user interface. 

When using a telnet session or web interface, the connection to the 
switch is not available until the switch has entered forwarding mode. 
This takes approximately three minutes from a power-up reset.
