A fix for issues experienced with Release 3.3.2 and networks that have the Instant On 1960 Switch Series deployed is undergoing final testing. If successful, the update will be pushed during your next update according to any Update Schedule you have created.
We will post again when the firmware is available if you'd like to update sooner.

Community Members,
The HPE Networking Instant On team is aware that many customers are currently experiencing an issue where Instant On switches go offline after upgrading to R3.3.2. We sincerely apologize for the disruption this has caused to your networks.
We are actively investigating this matter and working on a solution. The team is investigating the root cause; potential fixes are being developed and tested to ensure a resolution with minimal impact on the user base. In the interim, the team is evaluating the possibility of downgrading 1960 switches to R3.3.0 as a short-term solution and will share this or other suggestions if viable.
Currently, we don’t have a timeline to share for the fix, but please know that solutions are being tested. We will keep you updated with new information in this announcement, and we appreciate your patience and thank you for bearing with us while we work to resolve this.
Thank you,
HPE Networking Instant On Team
