Help with setting up a new Brocade 7250-48p which is factory new in the box.
Using official Brocade supplied cable with the micro-usb plugged into switch; and Serial end attached to very old Win7 Thinkpad's serial port. Putty is running, smash the 'b' key every second, plug in power cord; and per fohdeesha's instructions am expecting to see "ICX7250-Boot" but it boots into the OS. (Note: per fohdeesha instructions, I have a CAT6 plugged into Switch Port 20 with other end going into Asus-Merlin router). Putty connection established via Serial connection.
I do believe this switch is new, old stock and never used before.
I tried 3 times; (smashing the b key within Putty) but each time it boots to OS and I never see the "ICX7250-Boot" prompt.
Question: should tftpd be running doing this -or- does one launch tftpd after seeing the "ICX7250-Boot" prompt?
Any thoughts to what I am doing wrong? (note: network noob) & thanks for reading
