EXOS specifiy source interface for sntp, download image or download url

[M_Nees]

We have a X450-G2 with 16.1.3.6.

This switch is the router of a branch. Unfortunately the router-transfer nentwork is not part of VPN IPSec SA. So we have several problems with services which using the route-based source interface to reach some services.

For syslog, radius and snmp it is possible to define the correct source interface ip.

But sntp is current not possible.

Another problem is bringing firmware update to this switch - download image and download url NOR "tftp get" supports specifying a source interface.Last change to use a local PC for update. Maybe other or smarter suggestions ?

16.1.x Web interface does also not support a firmware update. (21.x. support that - but patch level is to low for me needs regarding system stability)

So any ideas to get sntp running or bringing a new firmware to that switch ?

Regards,
Matthias

Hi Dave, Hi Eric,

i got a way:
Windows Client (Putty utility pscp.exe)
pscp summitX-22.1.1.5.xos admin@IP-of-Switch:/scratch/summitX-22.1.1.5.xos

EXOS Switch:
install image "summitX-22.1.1.5.xos"

Works ...

Perhaps you can use install image, see https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-upgrade-EXOS-using-SCP/.

Hi Dave,

today i try a second run.

I could copy the new firmware files via WinSCP to the switch:
SW-XX.8 # ls
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 462213 Dec 16 11:01 SW-XX-2016-12-16--V16-1.cfg
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 382696 Nov 9 10:46 backup.cfg
drw-r--r-- 2 root root 1024 Jan 8 2016 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 25512 Apr 27 2016 nms.xsf
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 9876 Nov 18 13:36 non_stacking_config_convert.py
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 462213 Nov 25 10:04 primary.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71960061 Dec 16 11:02 summitX-21.1.1.4-patch1-5.xos
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 6 11:01 vmt

Unfortunately using the download url file command failed:

SW-XX.9 # download url file:///config/summitX-21.1.1.4-patch1-5.xos
Note: The inactive partition (secondary) will be used for installation.
Do you want to install image after downloading? (y - yes, n - no, - cancel) Yes

Downloading to SwitchError: Failed to download image - Error: File could not be unwrapped.

SW-XX.10 #Currently i use EXOS 16.1.3.6 patch 1-11

Any ideas to get the firmware installed on that switch manually ?
