Hi Guys,

I have two Summit48si switches running Extremeware Version 7.5.2.6 [non-ssh] firmware.

*SW1:15 # show ver

System Serial Number: xxxxx CLEI: QC: CP:05
CPU ID: xxxxx CP:05
Image : Extremeware Version 7.5.2.6 [non-ssh] [wlan] by Build_Master on 02/23/06 06:02:41
BootROM : 8.2

The switches are connected to each other via 8 ethernet ports fixed at 100Mb full duplex and the ports are in a group load sharing configuration:

# Ports AutoNeg Configuration
configure port 3 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 4 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 5 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 6 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 27 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 28 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 29 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 30 auto off speed 100 duplex full
configure port 33 auto off speed 100 duplex full

# Load Sharing Configuration
enable sharing 3 grouping 3,4,5,6,27,28,29,30 algorithm round-robin

I want to upgrade both switches to 7.7 or 7.8 but when I do it, the 8 ports won't connect anymore if both switches are on 7.7 or 7.8, or one on 7.7 and the other on 7.8.

I found a workaround to this problem to set the ports to AUTO ON, and then upgrade from 7.5.


The problem is that I need to do this on a pair of remote switches and I need to use the "download configuration tftpserver script.cfg incremental" command, so I can do both switches in the same time and not loose the remote communication to one or both switches.
If only one switch has the ports to AUTO ON the other switch will still have the ports to 100Mb Full Duplex and the ports are still down (they won't autonegotiate the speed) .


I have two local test switches, were I am trying all my tests but when I run the "incremental" command, all I get is the list of commands, but the changes are not executed.

Here is a simple test config script to enable or disable two ports (the test script file only has two commands one to enable port 2 and one to disable port 47):

*SW1#download configuration tftpserver script.cfg incremental
enable port 2
disable port 47*SW1#

Did anyone use the "incremental" download config?
Is it working?

Regards,

Mendo
