SF 300 24p Firmware

[wim_depauw]

Hi guys,

I recently upgraded the firmware of an SF 300 24p PoE switch using the GUI.

But I was wondering if the same task could be done using the CLI so the task could be scripted for bulk operations.
So far, it doesn't seem to support deleting files from flash memory properly (squeeze doesn't seem to exist), as well as other things.

Am I simply missing something or is it something that just can't be done?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Wim, if your switches are running the original firmware 1.0.0.27, there is not a faster way to manage this.

I haven't played with this aspect in a while but the file names are very simple If my memory served me correctly you can't just delete the images or boot code.

As example the firmware images are labeled as image1 or image2, boot is called boot.

Here's the CLI guide

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sf30x_sg30x/administration_guide/CLI_300_1_2_5.pdf

You can find the syntax for copy operations around page 146/147.

If you're already on the 1.2.7.76 firmware you may also use SCP

Here's the admin guide

The SCP option requires a SCP server. I'm not sure if that's a good option for you.

Thank you Tom,

I checked the firmware versions again and all of them should be possible.
SCP won't be an issue because I'm trying to upgrade to 1.2.7.76.

Also, I never realized the copy command image could detect which is the active image and which is not. Hence why i was trying to manually remove one of them and replace it. This should fix it.

I think everything will work out. But I'll have to try first.

Should anything else related comes up, I'll post it here.

Thanks again.

Wim
