hi everyone,
I have a switch from which I can ssh into ftp server, that is on a vlan. Other nodes on that vlan can ftp into that server okey.
The same switch I can ssh into its management interface cannot ping back that node from which I ssh. (that's is weird right?)
Now, when I try "firmware download" (on the vlan, obviously) via ftp, sftp, scp it all fails, example:
sw0# firmware download ftp host 10.5.4.97 directory nos7.2.0a1 user anonymous
Password: *********
Performing system sanity check...
The server is inaccessible or firmware path is invalid. Please make sure the server name or IP address, the user/password and the
firmware path are valid.
I can see that the switch does not even get to the ftp server, again, I can ssh from the switch to that IP address. SPC does not work neither.
sw0# firmware download scp host 10.5.4.97 directory /home.sysops/appmgr/nos7.2.0a1 user appmgr
Password: ************
Performing system sanity check...
The server is inaccessible or firmware path is invalid. Please make sure the server name or IP address, the user/password and the
firmware path are valid and the server supports SSH password authentication.
Because it's just my first foray into Brocade I hope, expect, I'm missing something and it's not some bad fault, malfunction on switch's part.
What is it that I am missing, doing wrong?
many thanks, L.
