Firmware updates resets config??
« on: November 23, 2009, 09:54:44 AM »

Hi there,

A client of mine has 8 DES-1228 switches.  He was having random issues with switch ports locking up so I figured I'd try the newest firmware (1.11.01).  The firmware installed just fine on the first switch, except that it completely wiped out the configuration.  Luckily I had the config backed up so I could easily restore things, but this was very impractical as the management IP is on a VLAN, so I to go the closet where the switch was to restore the config.  Is this normal?  It'll make upgrading the firmware on the rest of the switches very impractical.

Thanks.

I believe this may depend on how many versions you are jumping. If you apply the firmware sequentially, do you see this problem?

I didn't jump any.  I went from 1.10.12 to 1.11.01.  Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I do not personally know of this happening to anyone else.

Hi, netatwork

I suggest you can use D-Link SmartConsole utility to upgrade firmware to all DES-1228 at the same time in discovery mode even all DES-1228 IP address is the same. Thanks a lot.
