Ruckus ICX7150 C08 TFTP Upgrade

kristphr — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 23:05:01 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade the software from 08.0.91 to a newer version, however I'm having trouble doing so. I tried the copy command, but no luck. It's almost as if copy tftp isn't working for some strange reason.

I figured the only option was TFTP, as this model doesn't have a USB port. But any ideas on how to proceed with this upgrade? Current output:

What error do you get from the console when you try and tftp?

your post doesn’t say anything about it.

can you ping your tftp server?

@corey_costello it only states "Incomplete command." when entering the command.

I can't ping the tftp server (not on the same network yet).

@kristphr you have to put in the whole command.

Do a “copy tftp ?” and you’ll see the options.

it has to be on a network that can reach your tftp server.

You can also reference the upgrade guide for the complete commands required and options available for upgrading.

For example here is the 08.0.91 upgrade guide: https://support.ruckuswireless.com/documents/2878-fastiron-08-0-91-ga-software-upgrade-guide

Your list attempt of "copy tftp startup-config" will not upgrade the switch. That will only attempt to copy a configuration file to the startup-config name. And that is not a complete command in of itself.

The command you will need is

copy tftp flash <ip.address> <new firmware name> [primary|secondary]

1) where <ip.address> is, of course your accessible tftp server

2) <new firmware name> is the file image that you are upgrading to

3) [primary|secondary] one or the other, depending upon your upgrade plans.

That is the basic. But there are other items to consider, so make sure to read the upgrade notes for the newer firmware.
