help me recover this old Rb250GS

Fri Jun 04, 2021 12:23 pm

HI,

I've flahsed an incorrect file onto my Rb250GS - works fine as an unmanaged switch -- but how do i get to flash a correct firmware?

Have tried TFTP -- but does not seem to pick up an IP or the file ?

Hi rextended,

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried to do this - but I keep getting these logs: does not want to pick up the Ip and thereafter the firmware file.

details from tftp64

Maybe your DHCP server does not properly reply to BOOTP requests?

Hi Pe1chl,

fair enough -- but what do i need to do to get tftpd to run properly -- in this case ?

Also may I ask: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/SwOS/RB2 ... S_firmware ----- what OS are they using - so that I can do the same ?

Thanks

I would guess the easiest is to use Linux.
But although I once used a Rb260GS switch I have never tried what you are doing now, so I am not familiar with the details.
I only see your loop of:
DHCP: proposed address 10.0.0.2 [05/06 18:56:39.785]
Rcvd BootP Msg for IP 0.0.0.0, Mac 00:00:00:00:00:01 [05/06 18:56:39.972]
and I think it means the switch does not see a reply to its BOOTP request.
Of course this part you could also do with a MikroTik router with DHCP server. It has to have BOOTP enabled as well, like many DHCP servers this is a separate option.

tftpd is only the next step, first you need to solve this part of the problem.
