Update firmware of 8132F switch
Hi I`m trying to update the firmware of the 8132f switch from version 5.1.0.1 to 5.1.1.7 without luck. Here is the output of what I did:

The backup image should be 5.1.1.7. What did I do wrong?

I downloaded it again and had the same issue. I'm already using console to connect to the tftp. Thanks.

I'm trying this right now, but it will take almost 4hours with Xmodem 1K. I'll post the results. It is strange because the other swicth I have (8024F) it all worked fine with the first method.
Ps: In the link where I downloaded the firmware there is this note:
Note: PowerConnect 8100 Series switches with B1 CPU Revision require firmware version 5.1.0.1 or later and cannot be downgraded to earlier releases. If this unit is to be deployed as a member within a stack, the entire stack will be required to run 5.1.0.1 or later firmware. The improved CPU version XLP308H-B1 version is not compatible with firmware 5.0.x.x. The 'show version' CLI command in the 5.1.0.1 release has been improved to identify the CPU version of the switch.
My CPU is exactly this one, XLP308H-B1, but it says it is compatible with the 5.1.0.1 or LATER so I think this isn't the problem.

The XMODEM stuff worked. Strange that it didn't with TFTP. Thanks.
