XS708T Firmware 6.6.3.5 update error
Hey guys,
Im getting the following error message trying to upgrate My XS708T firmware to 6.6.3.5.
"Error! File name cannot include the symbols: \/:*?"<>;| and maximum length is 32".
This is...
Web based upload, or Smart Control Center (SCC) firmware upload?
What is the current firmware version actually operating on the switch?
Have spotted there are some intermediate firmware requrements for the install of 6.6.3.5 - and it might be required using the Smart Control Center (SCC) for that update? https://kb.netgear.com/000060568/XS708T-XS712Tv2-XS716T-Firmware-Version-6-6-3-5

O Man,
Thanks for the reply,
I missed the line saying in need to go to 6.6.1.7 first, I'm still on 6.6.0.11.
Regardles if I do first upgrade to 6.6.1.7 how am I supposed to upgrade to 6.6.3.5? I can not find a Mac version of SCC and I don't have any windows machine.
Thx
Start with the update to 6.6.1.7 -> https://kb.netgear.com/000038683/XS708T-XS716T-Firmware-Version-6-6-1-7
"Make sure the firmware version of your XS708T/XS716T is v6.6.1.7 before updating it to v6.6.3.5.
Otherwise, download the v6.6.1.7 image first and follow the firmware update procedure in its release notes.The Smart Control Center (SCC) tool is required to update firmware from v6.6.1.7 to v.6.6.3.5."
Afraid, no idea on how to overcome this SCC requirement - let's see what Netgear will suggest. LaurentMa that's another strange shortcoming - Windows can't be the center of the universe.
Not to diminish the no mac support problem becouse not everybody out there will just go and get Vmware + windows licence just to upgrade a switch so this should really be adressed.
However I wont let a switch be the center of my universe so I personly solved this by running windows in a vm and using the SCC.
Thank you for your Help !
That's the de-luxe solution - cool, thank you!
Still, there should be a way to update the firmware (and bootloader) using e.g. a Web browser.
