Switch firmware
Can anyone tell me if I have a client w/ a 4005 switch (running v2 of the firmware) who just bought a "spare" 4005 in case of component failure (running v1.1) - can I download v2 of the firmware so that the spare matches the version in production? In other words, does their owning one switch running v2 get them access to v2 for their spare switch as well?
I understand I should be able to plug in the spare cards into slot M2 and have them upgrage from M1 automatically, but I'd rather do it offline than messing w/ the production switch.
Thanks for your time in answering...

Re: Switch firmware
Try to use a TFTP server and download the v.2 firmware from the switch that is running, then upload the firmware to the spare device.

Re: Switch firmware
I've pulled the config from the management card in the live switch. What I
don't know is how to update the software version on a second card I now
have. I'm under the impression that the backup to TFTP is the config, not
the firmware on the controller - am I wrong about that? Is it all in the
backup? If not, how would I get a copy of the firmware on the TFTP
server? I've not seen anything that looks like that in the web or console
(but maybe I missed it). Sorry for being a noob on these 3com's.
