4/16 switch firmware problem
Has anyone experienced problems after upgrading switches to V5.3.0a ????
I upgraded 2x 2/8V and 1x 4/16 powerpack switches to V5.3.0a - since then I can't upgrade or downgrade - I just get a timeout
(telnet session printout attached). A fourth switch I left at V5.2.0 is OK - so the username & password, path specification etc,
should be OK.
I've tried another ftp server, other versions of code, and anything else I can think of - but no change.
Any ideas appreciated

Re: 4/16 switch firmware problem
'v5.3.0a/release.plist' - not just the directory path.

Re: 4/16 switch firmware problem
Do you mean you cant see it in the gui any more?
I agree with the release.plist though
The gui changes at 530 so you need a new java version to use the gui after the upgrade so hopefully this is the timeout you are talking about

Re: 4/16 switch firmware problem
I also tried to use both GUI (screenshot attached), and CLI 'firmwaredownload' command, and Fabric Manager - fails every time with the same message about "Server inaccessible/firmware path invalid" - after a time out of about 30 secs.
I'm beginning to think this is some sort of security problem on the switch, or maybe the way it is trying to access the ftp server - has anything changed around this with 5.3.0a???
Thanks

Re: 4/16 switch firmware problem
Try it from your PC's cmd box. Do you have a firewall installed? Personal or built-in firewalls like to block such connections.
Hope this helps!

Re: 4/16 switch firmware problem
test the ftp connection via the
traceftp command
connect/telnet to the switch and
type
traceftp -n -h YourFTPAddress -u anonymous -d tracedump -f dumpfile
if its not successfull try the root acoount

Re: 4/16 switch firmware problem
The 'traceftp' command is no longer supported as of 5.3.0 firmware!!
The example output file shows the path specified as C:\ftproot\inetpub\.........etc etc - but this was sheer desperation - I have tried every combination of pathnames I can think of - and nothing works!!! - The "valid" ftp path \5.3.0a\release.plist - works with V5.2.0 - but not V5.3.0a (?)
By the way - I still haven't resolved this problem yet!!! after many man-hours of trying!!
Thanks again for the input
