Thank you very much Gerald,
This solved the problem I was having. Even though it added a couple of steps in terms of assuring the laptop and switch had the same address, and taking the laptop off the network (only one NIC available), this was a great solution. For whatever reason, using Hyperterm or Terra Term Pro just wasn't working, either via the switch boot menu, or using xmodem. Thanks again! _________________________________________ Ken Applebaum Enterprise Network and Solutions Engineer Nazareth College 4245 East Avenue Rochester, NY 14618 From: Herzog, Gerald [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2012 3:44 PM To: Enterasys Customer Mailing List Subject: Re: [enterasys] D2 Firmware upgrade using serial connection Ken, If you are able to access the switch I think it would be easier and faster to load tftpd32 on your laptop, assign an ip address to the switch, assign a static address to your laptop in the same range, connect via ethernet cable to a switch port and use the copy://tftp command on the switch to transfer the file. Will that work for you?

Since using TFTP is not an option, I decided to download the firmware to the switch via the serial port, using the process outlined in the D-Series CLI Reference. I can connect just fine to the boot menu, and have changed the baud rate on the terminal program to 115200 after changing it on the boot menu of the switch. However, I have not been able to download firmware to the switch. I think the issue is that whatever terminal program I am using (Windows Hyperterm or Terra Term Pro) does not have the ability to find the firmware image on my PC. My guess is that I either don't know where on the PC I should place this file, or there is some configuration parameter I need to set in the terminal program. Unfortunately, trying to do a xmodem file transfer when connected in operational mode does not work. If someone can provide some assistance with this, it would be much appreciated.
