Hello all,
long time lurker first time poster. So, straight to the point, I have absolutely no experience using a managed switch, but wanted to learn about it. So I bought this Quanta LB4M switch for pretty cheap (140€ with shipping) but was not able to get it up and running because I was lacking a serial console cable and all the ports were deactivated by default.
So after getting the required cable and finally getting it to configure a management ip for the web interface, I was told (via cli) that i needed to reboot the switch for the changes to take effect. I did as I was told, and after coming back up im stuck in the boot menu, saying that the crc-checksum for both the first and the backup image are corrupt and I should supply another image via xmodem. So here is my actual dilemma:
I have no idea where to get another image, google didn't turn up anything useful either, and even if it did, i have no idea how to supply the image via the xmodem command and get it going again.
So, you guys are my last hope
Here is the output from the serial console I'm getting at startup
Sorry for the lengthy post, if you need any more information please let me know.
PS: Sorry if my english isn't the best, i'm from germany, so not a native speaker
Best regards
