I have been having a weird problem with 450G routers. They seem to
not reboot when you tell it to reboot in the software. You have
to Hard Boot it. The lights go off and it just sits there. All
but the Blue light. I have one that I just got out of the box and
upgraded it to 4.17. the first reboot went well. I did a reboot to
upgrade firmware and it happened. We mainly use POE Power supplies
that run 24i. Anyone else has any problems with certain power
supplies or this problem?
I have not seen that with any MT at all.
Plug in a serial console and see where it hangs. Ultimately I would
just end up with a comfortable version of MT that works (to each their
own). Be absolutely sure you update the firmware!!! That is /sys
routerb pr and up
That is the part that blows up. The OS upgrade goes smoothly. Then
you see that there is a routerboard firmware upgrad and you have
to power cycle the board when it still hasn't come back 5 minutes
later. I've seen that about 2 or 3 RB-450Gs when upgrading from
2.28 to 2.29. I think I have 5 or 6 of the RB-450Gs. When it
happens on the bench, I don't care. One happenned in the field.
That wasn't good.
I have 3 RB-493Gs and, if I remember correctly, one of them had to
be power cycled.
Also, during Dennis' training class in Salt Lake, I had the same
issue with the RB-433 I was using.
On all of those, I was upgrading to 4.16 from various 4.11 or earlier
loads, whatever was preloaded on the board when they arrived here.
I've not seen it happen on my 5 RB-750Gs.
On all of these platforms, my sample sizes are too small to say x%
fail to reboot successfully after a firmware upgrade.
I just hooked up a serial cable to the router board 4450G and rebooted
about 10 times and it says "rebooting . . ."
"Stopping services . . . " and just sits there. Its pretty random i had
it happen back to back already. i have never programmed anything on
this board.
