Dear All,
Today i received FWSM from cisco (RMA), I need to configure it as standby unit for existing FWSM active/standby setup.
IOS on RMAed FWSM is 2.3.4 and cisco VSS supports FWSM IOS 4.0.4 and later.
My issue is, I cannot access FWSM (IOS 2.3.4) via session command from cisco 6513 but could successfully consoled it without any problem. I have reloaded it twice and also tried to disable and enable power on it.
VSS#sh module switch 2
Switch Number: 2 Role: Virtual Switch Standby
Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No.

VSS#session switch 2 slot 2 pro 1
The default escape character is Ctrl-^, then x.
You can also type 'exit' at the remote prompt to end the session
Trying 127.0.1.21 ...
% Connection timed out; remote host not responding
Can someone please let me know why I cannot access FWSM through session command ?
- Whether this is because of older IOS ? If yes then how to upgrade its IOS ?
- Is it possible to upgrade IOS via FWSM console ? if yes, please let me know.
- Do i need to test on different slot ?
Look forward to hearing from someone.
Thanks & Regards
Ahmed...
