[cedric1]

Hello

Here some collect of my tests with USB key to :

- make auto copy to upgrade a switch with usb key
- disaster recovery to make a load of new code when you have a failure in certified and/or working.

Hope it will make your job easier

Thanks
I show it for 9000, so for 6850 or 6400, just add the good folder , instead 9000 put your model type.

This feature is very helpful

Hi Celdric,

I dont have Alcatel USB.
If i use my USB, do i have to make it bootable first?

[cedric1]

Hi

No just try to insert it and check if switch recognize it.

Hi
when i use command " usb reset", the switch gives me " (Re)start USB...
USB: scanning bus for devices... 1 USB Devices found"
but when i use " usbboot", it gives me " No boot device", so i think my USB boot is wrong. Do you know how to create an usb boot for 6400 or do u have any documents about it ?

hello

If you have good miniboot for usb driver, i think you have to order a key to alu .

Key must be max 500Mbits.

Try it in another system and check.
