Some of the causes of download failures include:
Incorrect or unreachable address specified for the TFTP Server parameter.
■
This may include network problems.
Incorrect VLAN.
■
Incorrect name specified for the Remote File Name parameter, or the
■
specified file cannot be found on the TFTP server. This can also occur if
the TFTP server is a UNIX machine and the case (upper or lower) for the
filename on the server does not match the case for the filename entered
for the Remote File Name parameter in the Download OS (Operating System,
or software) screen.
■
One or more of the switch's IP configuration parameters are incorrect.
For a UNIX TFTP server, the file permissions for the software file do not
■
allow the file to be copied.
■
Another console session (through either a direct connection to a terminal
device or through Telnet) was already running when you started the
session in which the download was attempted.
If an error occurs in which normal switch operation cannot be restored, the
switch automatically reboots itself. In this case, an appropriate message is
displayed after the switch reboots.
