Downloading Switch Software

 

The Bad file number is from the system error value and may differ

N o t e

 

depending on the cause of the failure. In the third example, the device file to

 

read was closed as the device read was about to occur.

 

Attempt to Start a Session During a Flash Write. If you attempt to

 

 

start an SCP (or SFTP) session while a flash write is in progress, the switch

 

will not allow the SCP or SFTP session to start. Depending on the client

 

software in use, the following error message may appear on the client console:

 

Received disconnect from 10.0.12.31: 2: Flash access

 

in progress

 

lost connection

 

Failure to Exit from a Previous Session. This next example shows the

 

error message that may appear on the client console if a new SCP (or SFTP)

 

session is started from a client before the previous client session has been

 

closed (the switch requires approximately ten seconds to timeout the previous

 

session):

 

Received disconnect from 10.0.12.31: 2: Wait for

 

previous session to complete

 

lost connection

 

Attempt to Start a Second Session. The switch supports only one SFTP

 

session or one SCP session at a time. If a second session is initiated (for

 

example, an SFTP session is running and then an SCP session is attempted),

 

then the following error message may appear on the client console:

 

Received disconnect from 10.0.12.31: 2: Other SCP/SFTP

 

session running

 

lost connection

 

Using Xmodem to Download Switch Software From a

 

PC or UNIX Workstation

 

This procedure assumes that:

 

The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC.

 

The terminal emulator you are using includes the Xmodem binary transfer

 

feature. (For example, in the HyperTerminal application included with

 

Windows NT, you would use the Send File option in the Transfer dropdown

 

menu.)
