switch 4000m update firmware

[Jose Juan]

hi all
I know that this question is out of place, but i need help.
I've some procurve switch 4000m and i want to update the firmware.
I'm trying do this here:

7. Download OS



===========================- TELNET - MANAGER MODE -============================
Download OS

Current Firmware revision : C.08.22

Method [TFTP] : TFTP
TFTP Server : 135.10.0.6

Remote File Name : /C_09_09.SWI








Actions-> Cancel Edit eXecute Help





but finally the outcome is this:


Connection to 135.10.0.6 failed

Do you know anything about this?

Is the TFTP server on the same network as the switch? If not you need a default gateway on the switch.

Do you have a management IP address with proper subnet on the switch?

Can the switch ping 135.10.0.6? If there is no ping command can 135.10.0.6
ping the switch?


Assuming you can ping between the switch and the server, is the server running a TFTP server? Do:
netstat -a |grep tftp
on the server to see. See the man page for tftpd if you donot see it running in netstat.

Finally, a TFTP server normally has a directory assigned to it. It uses this directory and only this directory to store and retrieve folders. Normally this directory is not the root directory and in any case you do not specify the directory when you call out the file name. You may have to play with the permissions on this directory and its files in order to get this to work. Again see the tftpd man page.

PS It is a good idea to first upload the operating system to your tftp server first, just in case it turns out that this upgrade won't fly. Nice to be able to back up to the old version.
