Update software for Nortel Baystack 450-24T 1

[augustin]

I have a stack with 8 units of BayStack 450-24T switches.
All units have:
HW:RevL FW:V1.48 SW:v4.2.0.16 ISVN:2

I want to update the agent with v4.2.0.022 for entire stack.
Can I do it for all units at one time? I mean, I connect with telnet through a port ( not a specific one ) of the stack and start the tftp process.

Yes, if you download b4504202.img to the Stack, all 8 switches are upgraded.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Thanks!
Where could I download the latest version of Nortel's Optivity Switch Manager?

Your Nortel sales rep should cheerfully sell you Optivity Switch Manager.

If your looking for a tool to automatically update microcode on a number of devices you might be interested in a script I wrote a while back. It was created for 350s, but I think it would work on 450s as well since they have the same codebase.

I'm interrested by using autoupdate script in win2000 with baystack450 devices.
i have installed ActivePerl and tftp server .I have changed all of the variables in the file autoupdate_conf
I have changed also the system_objectid with the value I founded by telneting a Baystack 450 switch and choosing "system Characteristique" in the main menu.
sysObjectID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.35.1
when i execute the autoupdate it show this error message in the log file :
Description: BayStack 450-24T HW:RevL FW:V1.48 SW:v4.2.0.22 ISVN:2
sysObjectID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.35.1
-> Error: expected sysObjectID 1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.35.1 skipping device!
what that means?

It looks like the leading dot in your sysObjectID config file entry is missing. Technically full OIDs start with a dot, but I should fix the next version so leading dots can be omitted... thanks for the feedback.
