3Com 4210 26 Port PWR - No correct default file to boot!

[JNStiles]

Hi,

 

Hopefully I've posted this in the right place...

I'm having serious problems with this switch ---> 3Com 3CR17343-91. We had a packet storm and the switch now just cycles when bootingand displays "No correct default file to boot!"

 

I've flashed the latest boot rom, and that worked.

 

I tried to flash it with the latest software (version V3.01.15) using the .app filein the download, but before falshing it asked me to rename the file, as it was not a bin file. I tried to rename it to s4o03_01_15s168.bin, to match the .app file name as well as various other names, but it would not allow it. In the end I tried s4o03_01_15s168 with noextension and the flashing process accepted that.

 

I now can't set this as the application file to boot, under option 3 of the boot menu, as nothing is displayed as an option.

 

Is there a way around this? If not, can I get hold of software versions using .bin files?

 

Thanks,

 

Jay

Found the solution.

 

I was trying to flash version 3.01.15, which for some reason requires the file to be a .bin file before it is flashed. I went to version 3.01.05 and was able to flash that version, after flashing the corresponding .btm, .def and .web files that came with the firmware package.

 

So basically, avoid V3.01.15.

Hello, I wonder if you still have the files to repair the boot of this switch, I'm having the same problem with the 3.01.15 and I don't find the 3.01.05, if you have this files, could you send me this files to [email protected].

 

Thank you.
