As I didn't find any, I'll leave my config on how to update aruab switches:

I installed a tftpd server on my unimus Debian machine

Code: Select all

apt install tftpd-hpa
copy your firmware to /srv/tftps

Code: Select all

copy YA_16_11_0025.swi /srv/tfpt/
Create a new MassPush Preset with this commands

Code: Select all

show flash
copy flash flash secondary
show flash
copy tftp flash YOUR_TFPT_IP YA_16_11_0025.swi
y
boot system flash primary
y
Enable: Require "enable"
Enable: Require "configure"
Set: Timeout in "Push advanced settings" to 200000ms

After some tests I do get an INTERACTION_ERROR, but the new firmware is installed and switch reboots.
I dont't get any Outout to trace that error

I suspect this could be due to the device disconnecting during reboot and that causes the Unimus Mass Config Push to fail...

Do you get the rest of the interaction in the Output?

Thanks for reply.
I do have 4 more switches for testing purpose.

Will check that.
