958.0. "FGL-4 won't upgrade from 3.01 to 3.10" by RDGENG::GREID (Inhale, Inhale, Your the victim) Thu Mar 27 1997 05:53

    Hi,
    
    	I'm trying to upgrade a newly replaced FGL-4 in slot 11
    of my Gigaswitch/FDDI and NDU keeps doing the following :-
    
    	Peevie..>DOWNLOAD LOAD /MODULE=11/PASS="08002bb4c100" -
    _Peevie..>/FORCE=GIGASWITCH 16.37.96.254 fgl4_op_310.rsx

    HOSTNAME: peevie.reo.dec.com
    
    Server: 16.37.96.6
    
    DECNDU: (TFTP) Target address = 16.37.96.254
    
     setting Slot Number
    [GIGAswitch] Getting TFTP Server IP address.
       16.37.96.6
    [GIGAswitch] Setting TFTP Server IP Address.
    DECNDU: ERROR STATUS = No response from device.
    
    
    Now I can via the console see that the module is up ok and has set it's
    address to match the other line cards and the Giga' is running ok, but
    I keep getting the above. Is this a host problem or a problem with the
    switch/line card ?
    
    Thanks for any info,
    
    Giles.

        First - modules don't have IP addresses.  Although IP address
    assignments are made to ports, all communication takes place with the
    SCP.  At no time are you actually communicating with the linecard.
    
        Second - are you saying the upgrade didn't take place, or are you
    just asking why you got an error message?  ...is that the complete
    unedited text of what was seen on the management station?

    P.S. Please note that there is a keyword and a note covers common
    upgrade problems (463.*).  I'll add a recent improvement to my
    checklist to that note.

    Michael,
    
    		When i upgraded the whole box and cards to V3.10, there
    was one FGL-4 that wouldn't upgrade, so I had it replaced after logging
    a hardware call. The new module arrived with V3.01 running and seems
    to be fine, so I thought I would upgrade it straight away to 3.10.
    
    		So issuing the same download command to this card and I
    always get the failure as listed in .0.

           Please check 463.7 for the list of things which can go wrong. 
    It appears to me as that it is privilege related and not card related,
    since it looks like it fails on the first SNMP SET, before it even
    tries to do anything with the card.
