Troubleshooting firmware downloads
A firmware download can fail for many reasons, such as a power failure, a failed network connection, a
failed FTP server, or an incorrect path to unpacked firmware files. In most cases, the firmware is not
affected. You can make necessary corrections (for example, check the Ethernet cables and check the file
path names) and then run the
firmwaredownload
command again.
NOTE: Under firmware versions earlier than v4.1.0, do not perform a firmware download while the
switch is running POST. If a firmware download is attempted on a Core Switch 2/64 while POST is
running, it might fail because the CP cards cannot synchronize with each other.
Issue the
firmwareshow
command to see whether both CP cards have the same firmware. In this
example, the active CP card has the old version of firmware and the standby CP card has the
new version:
