Progress… We have all the 800 series all wiped. Two of the 1700's were wiped when I left. And a couple folks were working on them as I was leaving (having figured out the right method).
I spent a bit too long fighting with TFTP. Instead of just fighting that we setup a little pipeline of 3 stations to wipe the 800 series ones and we got through the whole set so fast we had to recount to be sure we were not mistaken. When I got home everything fell into place (which is bound to be the case). It turns out I was fighting something the 800 series does strangely in that the ethernet ports by default are not in any particular vlan. Just adding one of the ports to the default vlan and it all works great. The mistake there was expecting the ports to be in the default vlan by default. I have an 850 flashed with colin's supplied images. We can flash all the firmware updates on my next visit and we can literally blast through it in an hour or so (the longest part is the damned things booting). The 870's need a different firmware than we currently have access to. I've also got a 1711 iOS updated from Colin's set as well so I'm very confident that I can wipe the rest on my next visit. Now with Colin being the grand poobah of these things. He can decide how to proceed but regardless all the 800 series have been wiped (save for two which have no flash so they are wiped, I can recover now them though). Doing the iOS updates can be a big harrowing as there isn't enough flash to whole both the current image and the new one so you have to erase it…. as well on the 1711's I can't remember how to NOT erase the flash when downloading a new image (note SDM and it appears IPS is installed on these so you'll probably want to get copies of these BEFORE wiping out the flash (unless Colin can get those too). The 17XX's WICs are riveted in as well so if you want to replace them… well you have to drill it out. Finally… if you are working with the 800's set the serial port of 115200 8n1 and the 1711's should be 9600 8n1. For those fast enough to grab the 1800's (you bastards…:P) I can show you how to wipe and update those. -- Sean P.S. The 850 and the 1700 images are confirmed good. _______________________________________________ SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/
