MDS - 9124 - boot tftp

[netadm]

Hello Folks,

I acidentally erase the kickstart image from MDS 9124 San Switch, and now the switch can't are in the "loader>" mode. There have many options to configure the Mgmt interface whit a ip/netmask, and a command to make the boot via tftp server:

boot tftp://192.168.2.130/m9100-s3ek9-kickstart-mz.5.0.1a.bin.

I'm using a notebook NIC connect in the mgmt of the MDS with a cooper cable. I set the IP address in the same network:

192.168.80.1 notebook

192.168.80.2 MDS9124

In the notebook im using the 3Cdaemon serve TFTP.

I can't transfer the image to Switch:

loader> boot tftp://192.168.80.130/m9100-s3ek9-kickstart-mz.5.2.8b.bin

Is your tftp server on your pc, which has IP 192.168.80.1 ?

and if yes, would the boot command not also be referring 192.168.80.1 (in your case its

see 192.168.80.130 )

I believe its a IP issue !

TFTP from server 192.168.80.130; our IP address is 192.168.80.150 which is different of your inital statement !
