Firmware download for x450a-24t

[Peter_Millard]

I have recent bought an old x450a-24t from Ebay and I am trying to download the latest firmware for this switch. I have bought this for a home lab to learn more about the xos operating system. Can anybody tell me th best way to go about this? Also how can I tell the level of licence applied to th switch? Many thanks, Pete

To clarify, does this mean the firmware versions applicable to older hardware are not available unless there is a support contract?

This also came up recently in another thread: https://community.extremenetworks.com/extreme/topics/buying-used-switch-on-ebay-howto-get-updates

Interesting, so purchasing used equipment is frowned upon / used equipment cannot be updated?

[Drew_C]

That's correct, Christopher.

In addition to using the switch to learn EXOS, you can use the EXOS VM. More info on our GitHub page: https://github.com/extremenetworks/Virtual_EXOS
