I have a couple Dell Powerconnect 6224 switches and I am having a heck of time just trying to get the firmware upgraded on them. When I try to copy the .stx file to the switch via TFTP I receive a message that the transfer failed. I am able to telnet to the switch on port 69 so I have confirmed connectivity. I have tried uploading the firmware from the web interface as well and that says it uploads successfully but I never see the image on the switch so I can load it. I have also tried load the firmware via XModem but its unclear if I have the correct 3'rd HyperTerminal application to get this done. I have read all documentation on these 2 switches and I simply cannot figure out how to get the firmware updated on these switches, seems like I am missing something elementary - 2 questions;
1.) What is the correct way upgrade the firmware from 1.x to 2.x on these switches?
2.) Whats the best HyperTerminal software to use when trying to update via xModem? I used putty to connect to the switches now but I am not sure if there is anyway to upload the firmware via putty using Xmodem.
Any advice or feed back is appreciated.
Thanks
