Thanks for the replyThat manual you've found is probably useless. 50% of the commands there wont work. A lot people have complained about the CLI, but I think its ok once you "understand" it. When it comes to firmware upgrades I have no idea. I couldn't find the web interface on either of mine. There is supposed to be a firmware version out there that support L3 routing, but I've not found anything specific about out.
For example this one: Quanta HP LB4M Switch with Dual Power 5 13 12 14 Routing Image Firmware | eBay
mention they have routing image firmware. Is it really a different firmware than on the other "cheaper" ones that are for sale?
So if a bunch of commands won't work in that manual I found, I hope I can figure this out! I'm sure I will still need someones input on this though, lol.
You said you couldn't find the web interface on your unit? What exactly did you mean buy that? Do you mean you couldn't find the commands in the cli to enable it? Or do you mean you can't actually use the web interface eg: "http://192.168.x.x" and log into the unit in a web browser? I read that the newer version of the firmware no longer has the web browser support but some have said it can be re-enabled through the cli and then browser access worked, and others said they couldn't find the command/area to re-enable it and they couldn't get it to work like others claim.
There is also some units that ship with the newer firmware on the primary flash and an older firmware on the secondary flash and you just some command to boot to the secondary flash instead and pow, you have a web interface again. Seeing as these units are so random in what you might get when buying them it's hard to say what mine or yours or others may be like in comparison, which kinda sucks in some ways, but could help in others. We just need people to dump their firmwares and start comparing/testing them for differences, and make these firmwares available to the masses, and in my case list the commands to actually flash the firmware, and the commands to dump the firmware. I would gladly share my firmware if I can dump it properly
I saw that "Quanta HP LB4M Switch with Dual Power 5 13 12 14 Routing Image Firmware" on ebay when I was looking at which one to buy, and that higher price being charged for it, pretty silly unless it actually does have a "proper/good" firmware installed. I have no idea if that unit is any better, and why hasn't that firmware been available to anyone if it's on that unit? Like why hasn't anyone dumped the firmware from one of those and uploaded it by now? Is it real or total BS? No way to tell, but I would like to know if I can get it just to try it out and see if it's layer 3 or at least mostly bug free.
Oh and before I forget, I also found this manual and it also may be very close to the proper command set for the Quanta from what I read: http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/1419/fortiswitch-100-admin-40-mr2.pdf What do you think?
Hopefully someone will read this and be able to give concrete input on all of this, and maybe knows some of the commands to work with the firmware(s). We await your arrival oh great Quanta LB4M gods! Please help!
