3195.0. "downgrade to 900EF from 900EF/MP" by DEKVC::YOUNGCHANKIM () Tue Jan 23 1996 11:23

    Hello,
    I have some problems about downgrade to DECswitch900EF from 900EF/MP.
    ( ef102mp firmware ----> defba152.bin )
    I'll just upgrade for test but it's not return to DECswitch900EF.
    Hubloader is not action in HUBwatch V4.1.1 for downgrade.
    So,I'll tried action like belows.
    at PC(130.1.1.104),sethost 130.1.1.105 ( port 4 IP address)
    *t 6
    config>boot
    boot config>load remote
    ip address ? 130.1.1.104
    pathname? c:\firmware\defba152.bin
    first hop ip ? 130.1.1.104 (default)
    tftp timeout [10]? 
    are you sure restart gateway [yes/[no]]? yes
    
    After few minutes,power reset DECswitch900EF/MP and/or DEChub900.
    but,It's not change to DECswitch900EF from 900EF/MP.
    If it's wrong,reply to me correct procedure.
    
    thanks,any reply.

	You may have better luck asking in the common_brouters notesfile. The only place I have seen it discussed is in note 28.9 in that conference. -Mike

	To change A DEFBA Switch from Router code to Bridge code 1. At the MAM Console redirect to the bridge. 2. Do a Factory reset to the bridge. 3. Do a Console redirect to the bridge again a. set an ip address to a port you want to use (ie: port 3 16.20.12.199) (menu item #4) b. Set the Community name to PUBLIC c. Do a soft reset to the bridge (Reset with current settings) 4. Connect TFTP server to the port you just set up (port 3) 5. Make sure you can ping the Bridge through the port that you just set up. 6. Then use TELNET on your system (If TELNET is not installed, see below for how to start it. # telnet 16.20.12.199 Trying 16.20.12.199... Connected to 16.20.12.199. Escape character is '^]'.

This is quick, but the reboot will take about 3 minutes for the bridge to come up. ================================================================================ To be sure TFTP is up on your system: At the UNIX prompt (#) type: # telnet If you don't get a TELNET> prompt, make sure that TELNET is installed on your system. To do this check file: /etc/inted.conf #tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd tftpd -d /net/net remove the # sign in front of TFTP and at the end, after the 2nd tftpd add -d /net/net (net/net) is the directory for the down line load file.
