No Primary or Seconday Image

bob_builder_dxz — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:36:24 GMT

One of our users has accidently wiped our Brocade Fastiron 624p Switch. It comes up to boot cli but has no primary or secondary image. How do I get a flash image back on this switch?

you can reload the firmware via TFTP

That is a very old switch that is End-of-Life, so the best option would be to replace it with a newer ICX such as the ICX-7250-24P or ICX-7150-24P.

At any rate, if you want to do a recovery, I am not certain which port you would connect it to the network to do TFTP to it.

That said, these commands should ultimately work:

Unfortantly those commands are not working. This is my starting point.

what options do you have under boot?

can you do a "boot primary" or a "boot secondary" for example?

Perhaps a boot ? question mark?

What's under show?

I do see there is an IP address mechanism, which presumably is to allow you to TFTP a replacement flash image.

I am able to get to the boot system tftp. I would put the ip in of the server but always get a session time out.

Cool beans. This appears to be everything you need to recover this device!

1. First, does your TFTP ordinarily work. If not, you need to get something that works with a non-bricked device.

2. Do you have a valid FWS image for booting. Probably something like FWS07400p.bin on said TFTP server?

3. Is your IP correct? It would appear your system has an APIPA IP that 169.254.233.200... which for some reason you manually set?? Do you have an APIPA IP on the main computer? Regardless, you need something in the same subnet.

Thankfully, you can test communication and troubleshoot because you have ping to test connectivity. Usually only the management port works on these from the boot monitor though it may be different on the old FWS. I only ever looked around in the boot monitor on the ICX.

At any rate, mess around in step 3 until you can ping your TFTP server by its IP.

4. I do not know the command to boot to tftp, but it appears you can keep typing ? question mark to find out what arguments it expects. Most likely after the IP of the TFTP server it is asking for above, it will need the filename to boot as the next argument followed by a carriage return .

Once you have connectivity, an appropriate FWS boot image, a working TFTP server, and the right "boot system tftp" command, I suspect it will TFTP that image directly into memory and the boot loader will boot it.

From there, once booted, you would surely want to TFTP an image to the flash, so you don't have to go through this exercise to boot this in the future

I am using FileZilla and im able to ping it. However I get a time out every time I try to pull the file.

Re: No Primary or Seconday Image

netwizz — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 14:45:08 GMT

Good Morning:

FileZilla is an FTP server not a TFTP server. It's a completely different application-layer protocol that rides on top of TCP where TFTP is UDP based.

There are many choices of TFTP servers. I personally use TFTPD64 by Ph. Jounin, but this post is not an endorsement for any particular product; it is just to let you know FileZilla will not suffice for this purpose. Solar Winds for example also makes some great TFTP servers as well.

Again, choose whichever TFTP product you want and test it first on a non-bricked device.

Additionally, I usually don't put the entire path in; instead, I usually have the image I am going to copy in the root of the TFTP server.

Lastly, judging your image file above FCXR08001.bin is very unlikely to be correct for an older Brocade FastIron WS 624P. It has been at least six (6) years since I dealt with these types of units, but as I recall the software image names will start with something like FWS (NOT FCX). The FCX is the image family that runs on FCX devices like the 6610's for example.

and You have a legacy device that probably does not support any 8.x code.

Your device will almost certainly need an image file prefaced with FWS such as FWS07400p.bin, or FWSR07400p.bin if you want Layer-3 capabilities (i.e. routing).

Re: No Primary or Seconday Image

netwizz — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 15:37:02 GMT

Good Morning again:

You have really peaked my interest with this, and I want to make sure I am not steering you wrong, so I just found a similar Brocade FastIron WS 648G switch in a disposal pile. While not the identical switch you have, it is in the same hardware and firmware family. The only difference is the one I found has 48 Ports (vs 24), and this one has no POE.

Sometimes the best way to learn and grow is to try things.

Now, I do not care about this switch because it is End-Of-Life and support. All that really matters is that it has its configuration removed for disposal, so I intentionally erased both flash slots to re-create the exact problem you are having by executing "erase flash primary" and "erase flash secondary."

Please do NOT do this though because there is NEVER a reason to erase a flash slot; since, when you send updated firmware the device will automatically over-write that slot during the upgrade process.

If you are erasing the configuration on a switch, please use "erase startup-config"; since, the switch will still be bootable when done.

I then tried to recover, and I was successful (within about five minutes):

Re: No Primary or Seconday Image

bob_builder_dxz — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 18:34:20 GMT

Awesome!! Got the firmware to load it. However it saved the previous config so working towards wiping that and trying to save the firmeware so that the wipe doesn't wipe the firmeware. Kind of a catch 😞

Re: No Primary or Seconday Image

netwizz — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:18:04 GMT

Good Afternoon:

Great news! Yeah, so basically you do an "erase startup-config" on the Brocade/Ruckus style equipment from a privileged-exec "#" prompt to remove the config and keep the firmware... presuming you somehow managed to copy it back to the switch...

****

Specifically, what is the current state of your switch? When you say you got the firmware to load it, I presume you mean you got it to boot (from TFTP) with the previous configuration... and that's all, right?>

That the new problem is that you area at a ">" prompt ... when you try to type "enable" or "en" for short to get to a privileged-exec "#" prompt it asks you for a password you don't have right?

The issue being to erase the configuration or copy a new firmware image to primary or secondary, you certainly have to be at a privileged prompt to do those types of actions.

Hence, although you can actually boot the device from TFTP now, I doubt you fixed the device to boot normally from primary or secondary as to do that you would have to be at the "#" prompt to issue a command like: "copy tftp flash 10.1.2.4 fws07400p.bin primary" to make the device bootable without connectivity to a TFTP server.

****
If not having the password is the big problem, you probably have to combine the password recovery procedure with the firmware (or software recovery procedure), I am going to ask you to try something blind as I do not have that switch I grabbed earlier this morning... but... it will probably work.

On an ICX family switch I have recovered passwords in the past. Never actually tried it on an FWS, (let's hope it's the same). Essentially, I would hit B to interrupt the boot and end up at the boot-monitor prompt. In your case, that's easier to get to the boot-monitor because it cannot boot fully not having an image in the primary or secondary flash slot.

Then in the password recovery procedure you type:

ICX64XX-boot>> no password
OK! Skip password check when the system is up.

ICX64XX-boot>> boot
Booting image from primary...

switchname>en
No password has been assigned yet...

switchname#

Obviously, in your case, "boot" alone won't work unless I am totally wrong about the problem...

Presuming I am right and this is now predominantly a password problem,

...try following the password recovery instructions hoping "no password" is the command on the FWS family *crosses fingers*, and replace the password recovery's next step of "boot" command with something that will actually boot the device. (i.e. something like "boot system tftp 10.1.2.4 FWS07400p.bin" instead of plain "boot" - whatever worked last time).

Now, AFTER the device boots I would recommend:

switch> en
switch# erase startup-config

At this point, the configuration is still running with all the extra fluff leftover from its last configuration. Below, I jump right to changing its IP to something on the same subnet as your TFTP server and copying a flash memory before reloading (rebooting).

If you would rather start completely fresh at this point with an empty configuration without that extra "fluff," you can reload, but you will have to boot from TFTP once more to then set an IP and TFTP your image to the primary flash slot. It's really up to you what you want to do, and it hardly matters; since, these boot extremely fast!

This part is the same though if you just rebooted, "enable" again...:

switch# conf t
switch(config)# ip add /(MASK bits)
switch (config)# exit
switch# ping
switch# copy tftp flash 10.1.2.4 fws07400p.bin primary (or whatever image you booted from and whatever IP your TFTP server is at)

switch# show flash

switch# reload

Y to reload
Y to tell it you don't care you didn't save the leftover config with your IP address details...

It should now boot up on its own and without a password.

Re: No Primary or Seconday Image

bob_builder_dxz — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:57:49 GMT

no password works but when the new image takes effect it still request the password. Once I power it down it looses its image to not being able to copy it to the primary.

Re: No Primary or Seconday Image

netwizz — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:00:08 GMT

Good Afternoon:

I am not certain what you mean exactly. Could you just copy and paste the entire process where you cold boot, set your parameters, your no password, boot, etc.

and where you get stuck?

I presume you hit Enter a few times, and that did not help.

I would move the no password command to right before your boot command AFTER you set the IP details. I don't know that it matters, but changing the IP could potentially change something in memory.

At any rate, I also found this (I know it is for a different switch), but it is worth a try:

http://docs.ruckuswireless.com/fastiron/hardware/icx7150-installguide/GUID-3ED3789B-7998-4DC4-8DB8-3...

Enter no password. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)

Perhaps "no pass" is not sufficient... even though it said, "OK! Skip password check when the system is up."

I tried the no password typed out and still no change. Then I tried typing it after the ip was assigned.

FGS-Boot>ip add 169.254.37.215
BOOT INFO: load monitor from boot flash, size = 105737
BOOT INFO: prepare tftp client..
IP address = 169.254.37.215, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
FGS-Boot(169.254.37.215)>no password
Not found in command table /no/
FGS-Boot(169.254.37.215)>

I don't see these commands on this platform from typing ? above, but I see it mentioned on some Internet searches.

Monitor>no password
OK! Skip password check when the system is up.
Monitor>erase startup-config
Monitor>reset
