Re: 4018GL Firmware upgrade
read carefully the Release Notes
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/59903067-e4.pdf
The easiest way to load firmware to switch is xmodem download from a pc via serial cable (see page 4 of rel notes). Another easy way is set up a tftp server and download firmware via LAN.

Re: 4018GL Firmware upgrade
TopTools does not support the 41xx series as far as I know and/or is obsolete, the firmware database is not updated anymore.
The new program to manage Procurve is PCM, see link:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/management/pcm/overview.htm
If you have downloaded the firmware from the HP web (G.07.53, there is a later version but you would have to call HP-support for thatone) see link:
http://www.hp.com/rnd/software/switches.htm
Click on the selfextracting file, the actual firmware ends in .swi Then you need a tftp (TrivialFileTranferProtocal) program. Start that, put the .swi file in the root directory. Telnet to the switch choose option 7 download. Edit until it says TFTP enter the IP of the client where the tftp server is running and then enter the file name "G_07_53.swi" without quotes. Then click on execute. You will see the file being transferred. this takes a couple of seconds then you have to wait untill the transfer and flash is finnished. Then reboot the switch for the actual firmware to kick in. Check this in the CLI with the command "show ver" without quotes or in the menu option 1 and 1 General system information.

Re: 4018GL Firmware upgrade
I have tried the download OS option from a Telnet session but it can't find the .swi file.
I have also tried using the TFTP progam now supplied with WinXP and the same problem occurs.
The problem is: Where do I put the .swi file?
I know that TopTools is now obsolete but it does what I want for managing a network and the attached servers. I mght switch over to the replacement programs, but not until they are fully integrated!
In any case, HP say that they will "support" TopTools for 5 years. To me that means making thing like switch OS upgrades available via the TopTools Firmware upgrade option.
For information, the 4108 is recognised by TopTools.

Re: 4018GL Firmware upgrade
The .swi file you need to put in the root directory of the tftp server. (most likely c: or the desktop)
Can you ping the tftp server from the switch and vice versa?
For the TopTools questions, I don't have any ideas, sorry.

Re: 4018GL Firmware upgrade
I've attached a small, nice TFTP server. In order to use it, make sure TopTools is stopped (since it contains a TFTP server that prevents other TFTP servers to bind to port 69). Make a folder for tftp32.exe, put it there and double-click it. Put the .swi in that same folder. Initiate the OS download from the 4108GL's menu. It should work.

Re: 4018GL Firmware upgrade
I have also taken the plunge and installed Procurve Manager. Incidentally I can't find a forum for it. Does that mean the program is so perfect it doesn't need one, or am I looking in the wrong place?
