8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Java Issues

Ricknsa — Wed, 08 Mar 2017 23:19:27 GMT

Hello, I am fighting an issue of bringing up the gui for my 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch, I probally have not logged into it, in a few years. I needed to move some things around, but now when I do try to login from IE, it tells me that my java version is not 1.4.2. I have installed that old version on 3 different computers, and tried various IE versions 8, 9 and 11. Not a single one of them seem to work. Does anybody have any idea??

Amazing that Java versions would screw the Admin IT world so bad, and even worse, people keep using it to program with?? Cant figure that one out either.

go to java site and look for old versions and download

jre-7u21-windows-i586.exe usually works

if not connecting with Putty always works CLI is not very difficult depending

what you need to do

I tried that version as well as 5 others, and also tried to use Fire Fox as well. Still cannot connect to the switch.
