Netvanta 1224ST Stuck in #BOOTSTRAP

[Anonymous]

I have a Netvanta 1224ST that was suddenly unpingable.

I consoled in and got a #BOOTSTRAP: prompt. It looks like something went wrong. I try to assign an IP and it started cycling this:

Follow these directions to reload the firmware of the unit and load a basic startup config.  After this is complete, you should be able to program the unit as desired and place into production.

Download the firmware of your choice for the Adtran Netvanta 1224ST at Software Downloads

Download Tera Term Pro at TeraTerm 3.1.3 - Telnet, SSH2, SSL Client with built in Web Server

Connect to the unit with a console cable (9 pin straight-through serial cable)
Open Tera Term Pro & make a serial connection to the unit

Type the following...

erase file-system

  [wait for completion, 100%]

copy xmodem flash

[the name of the firmware you downloaded earlier]

* in Tera Term - file > transfer > xmodem > send > select the firmware you downloaded earlier.

Select the following text and save to a file named starup-config with no extension

!

!

hostname "Switch"

enable password password

!

event-history on

no logging forwarding

no logging email
