I've never used an LB4M very much but it should be the same, but with the LB4M image names instead
Like, it doesn't even have a bootloader? there's no output at all over serial when it boots? If so, you bought a bricked switchHi guys!
I just picked up a broadcom turboiron 24x used from Ebay, but the unit was sold without an operating system. Any way I can use this firmware and somehow flash my switch? without an OS, when loading putty, there's no command line. Ideas on how I can re-flash this with this technique?
ive just realized it doesn’t use a null modem cable so I’m on the hunt for a straight though serial cable. I’m missing an adaptor. I will try again once I get it.Like, it doesn't even have a bootloader? there's no output at all over serial when it boots? If so, you bought a bricked switch
heh, that would definitely do itive just realized it doesn’t use a null modem cable so I’m on the hunt for a straight though serial cable. I’m missing an adaptor. I will try again once I get it.

Hey everyone. I have flashed a few of these switches without any hitches, but am kinda stuck on one I'm doing for a friend.
Basically, it's flashed and all is well, but when I went to log into the management interface via putty, it didn't like the password. I'm 110% sure of the password, so it doesn't make any sense to me. After what seemed like 100 tries, we finally decided to just reflash it... but it seems like the password is somehow persistent. I can interrupt the boot menu using a serial cable, but there doesn't seem to be a clear "reset" option.
How is the best way to reset the login/password after it's flashed over to the Brocade firmware?
I did set a password, because on boot, it asks me to log on (something neither the serial or management interface should do (right?).so you must have set a password, because by default there is no password. you can try stopping it in the bootloader and running "no password" then "boot" and it should boot, temporarily not asking for your password. can you post your entire boot output? it sounds like it didn't get flashed all the way if it's asking for a default password (brocade doesn't have one)

what did it end up being?Nevermind I figured it out, thank you anyway.
these switches do not support MCTHas anyone tested FastIron Multi-Chassis Trunking as described in manual page 885 on these switches?
Can anyone, who has two of these, test this?
the link on how to do this is literally in the first post of this thread in boldhello I have this SW LB6M is compatible with brocade firmware?
