FESX -PREM firmware upgrade issue.

I have two -PREM FESX424s that we picked up used. If I try to load an L3
image from another -PREM FESX424 we have, but I get an error that it is
incompatible. It seems there is a an optional ASIC required that does
appear to be physically installed on both newer switches.

One thing I noticed is that on the existing FESX I am copying the image
from, show ver includes output:

P-ASIC 0: type 00D1, rev D2 subrev 00
P-ASIC 1: type 00D1, rev D2 subrev 00

However on the newer switches, those lines do not appear.

Any thoughts? I don't consider myself a Foundry/Brocade "expert".

Thanks!

Todd

Re: FESX -PREM firmware upgrade issue. [In reply to]

Hello Todd,

just open both and look for the difference. ;)
There is some (plugable) tiny additional chip on those with Layer3 Support.
No idea if you can buy them seperately, but we got one from our dealer
several years ago for testing the Layer3 features.

kind regards
Rolf
