Points to Note when Upgrading Software

The Switch ships with a version of software that supports up to 56-bit encryption for SSH and SSL (HTTPS). For higher levels of encryption including 168-bit 3DES and 256-bit AES, download the strong encryption version of the Switch software from the 3Com Web site and install as detailed in “Updating the Switch Software” above.

When you have a strong encryption version of the Switch software loaded, the Software Version field on the Web interface will show the version number of the software followed by the words

(Strong encryption).

When initiating a TFTP upgrade using the Web interface or CLI, if an incorrect TFTP server IP address or software upgrade filename is entered you will not be able to correct the IP address or

filename until the TFTP upgrade operation has timed out. The default time out period is 1 minute.

When attempting to upgrade the software on the unit it may occasionally report the following error:

Error: File service in progress.

If you encounter this error, please wait a minute and try the command again.

Password Recovery

The password recovery feature allows you to reset the admin user password by logging into the unit via the console port using the username recover and password recover. If you power cycle the unit within 30 seconds then the password will be reset and you will be prompted to enter a new password on restart. There is no command to disable the password recovery feature.

Configuring Link Aggregations

When creating a manual aggregation between two systems the ports in the aggregation must not be physically connected together until the aggregation has been correctly configured at both ends of the link. Failure to configure the aggregation at both ends before physically connecting the ports can result in a number of serious network issues such as lost packets and network loops.
