Ali__J — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 17:33:00 GMT

Greetings to you
I'm tired from searching in Google about " how to save current firmware in switch to PC , The main goal from this is take a backup

I Know how to save config file to my pc it's easy by using this command

A4(su)->show config outfile configs/mysave.cfg

A4(su)->copy configs/mysave.cfg tftp://10.10.10.15/Ali_j_albasri.txt

File transfer operation completed successfully.

so the above command using to save config file to my PC using TFPT ,
we know in Cisco you can save IOS Image by using IOS name and TFTP
Like this command

copy flash/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE2/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin tftp:server

so i want to do that in Enterasys switches

I don't think that it's possible to upload the software from the switch.
The solution to your problem would be to just download the software image that you are looking for from the Extreme webpage to your PC.

Sorry,
Firmware to switch cannot be done.
I thought you were trying to load the Config to PC.
My Mistake

I do not have an A4 currently to verify, but have used the following on other Enterasys switches:

A4> dir (to see firmware names in the Images directory)

A4> copy images/firmware_name tftp://a.b.c.d/name

Looks like Jason tried my next suggestion with the capital "I" instead of "i". Not sure then. So it's either a restriction of the switch and/or firmware, or perhaps it cannot be done with the file that's the active/boot firmware image. Not sure why that would be the case, but I've seen stranger things. My previous success was with S-Series switch.

Ali__J — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 18:54:00 GMT

John ,
same even if you Type Images "Capital i

Is there a solution to this problem? Frankly Compared with Cisco offers you a quick solution to solve this problem
Is there a solution ?

Ronald_Dvorak — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 19:06:00 GMT

I think the switch is designed that way so I don't see a problem.

The solution to your request is to download the software from the Extreme webpage.

RE: enterasys A4 Copy firmware From Switch to PC?

Jason_Parker — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 19:10:00 GMT

This is not supported on the SecureStacks. You will need to call into the GTAC and open a C4(care Request) and management will review and comment if this request can be done.

Ali__J — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 19:10:00 GMT

Thanks Jason
you said "call into the GTAC and open a C4(care Request)" , could you tell me where i can do that ?

Here the link to the contact information of the GTAC..
http://www.extremenetworks.com/support/contact/

The GTAC will open a ticket with your CR (change request).
Then product managment will decide whether the new function will be implemented into a new firmware build.
