GSS116E unable to upgrade firmware
My unit was at firmware v1.0.0.0 and i was able to at least install the v1.0.0.2 firmware file.
I am currently sitting at
Loader Version V1.0.0.0 Firmware Version V1.0.0.2
At this point, i cannot install the v1.0.0.5 bootloader as it claims that its an invalid firmware file thru the web interface. I have downloaded multiple times thru different web browsers on different computers and get same response every time. it seems to get about 25% thru the upload of the file before spitting out the error.
any insight on what may be causing this issue?
HI Akamurakuruma
Welcome to our community!
After you finished your firmware upgrade could you open a web browser with the below address:
http://x.x.x.x/loader_upg.htm (x.x.x.x it's the ip address of the switch)
And update the bootlader?
Hope it helps!

That would be it. would help if it was more apparent that this is a different page than the normal firmware upgrade page.
