Upgrade the CSS11501 image

[abarnard]

I am trying to upgrade the CSS11501 image using the FTP command thru the management port.

The laptop is able to ping the switch and the switch the laptop so comms is there. When I run the ftp-record command and then try to ftp the image, it is not connecting to the FTP server running on the laptop.

Appreciate anyones help.

is the ftp server setup with a default username and password? is the file name completely spelled out including the exension? do you see it hiting the server in the server log

[abarnard]

The FTP server username and password are xx

the command I am using is ftp-record DEFAULT_FTP x.x.0.2 me "me" to setup the ftp-record.

I do not see any connection to the FTP server in the FTP logs.

Command using to upload the new image is:

copy ftp DEFAULT_FTP sg750004.adi boot-image

is the laptop in the same vlan as the CSS management port or is there a layer 3 device in between ?

Can't you move the laptop to a front port ?

Laptop connected directly into the management port on the CSS. Tried both straight thru and cross-over cables.

pu the laptop eithernet port into one of the module ports and bridge to the correct vlan and ip range with the css and it should work fine thats how i upgraded mine

1/Do a 'Sh ip route' on the CSS and check the entries.Laptptop-connected CSS interface is normally a local connected one.

2/Delete the 'ip mangement route' if you think they are irrelavant and do not need them.

3/ use command 'socket connect host x.x.x.x port 21 tcp' to connect to the ftp port.

4/If still unsuccessfull, connect laptop to any CSS data port, 'bridge VLAN' that port and on your laptop use an ip address that belong to that VLAN.
