Hi onyangodt,
Very strange...
Maybe the flash is broken on this M4100.
Please check private message for maintenance commands.
Thanks.
That is what I get after the firmware upgreade
Hi onyangodt,
Welcome to NETGEAR community！:smileyhappy:
It seems that this M4100-12GF don't have enough space on flash.
I suggest you to clear the unused data on it.
The data can't recover after following operation.
So please think about it carefully before do following operation.
1. Clear the log on flash by CLI
These log just used for NETGEAR support.
No harm to M4100.
Cleare crashlog
Clear event and trap log.
2. Clear scripts on flash by CLI
Input the script name which youo want to delete.
Or input delete all to remove all scripts on flash.
3. Clear the persistent log on flash by GUI
4. reload M4100 and try to save configuration again.
May the solution help you.:smileyhappy:
Thanks.
Greetings Daniel,
It still refuses to save to configuration. I managed to downgrade to the firmware that was installed before I attempted the firmware upgrade. Im still getting the same problems. Prior to the firmware upgrade everything was saving and configurations were saving. Now after the firmware upgrade and downgrade it wont save. Ill use the EZconfig prompt to get the initial setup and it wont save those settings either. Then ill reboot the switch to see if they stuck and they don't. Please see the screenshots below.
It wont let me erase startup config nor factory defaults and weather I use write of save it wont save at all. Is there anyway I can rewrite the image1.stk or image2.stk? Is there anyway that I can reset it to factory defaults as if it was out of the box ? I use the clear config command to default it as well as the webgui but it still wont save after ive gone through the ezconfig prompt.
Hi onyangodt,
Factory default operation won't clear flash so the space on this M4100 can't release at all.
We need to release more space on flash for this M4100 to make “save” operation work.
Could you please reference above solution to delete files on flash by manual?
