Firmware upgrade issue for a 1355/6355

[Anonymous]

I have an Adtran Netvanta 1355 that is running with 6355 firmware- as directed by support, many years ago.

The 1355 is running firmware version NV6355A-A2-0500-E.biz

I'd like to get the latest firmware installed on this device, but when I attempt to reload it with newer 6355 firmware (NV6355A-R11-5-1-E.biz or NV6355A-R10-9-0-E.biz) it falls back to the backup firmware.

Here's the error from the log:

I also tried loading the latest version of the 1355 firmware (NV1335A-R11-5-1-E.biz) which I was surprised to see even existed as I thought these two lines had merged.  Anyway, when I attempted to set this as my primary I got the following error:

The selected Primary Image 'NV1335A-R11-5-1-E.biz' is not a valid Firmware file for this product.

Here's the output of my show ver for reference:

I would greatly appreciate an assistance.

Aaron,

I would suggest you load R10.9.6 firmware.  That's the highest version for last year's Extended Maintenance Release.  Once you have loaded it on the unit, you should make sure to use the "verify" option to check the firmware.

(config)# boot system flash <primary firmware> <backup firmware> verify

If you are unable to make this work, please reply with the output of the above command, and also the output of "show flash".  Lastly, you may want to get the output on the craft/serial port during boot up for further information about why the backup firmware was used.

Where can I get this firmware? Doesn't seem to be available from Adtran's site.

Thanks
