As the number of Netonix switches in our network begins to grow pushing out firmware updates is becoming a chore. Are there:
1) Any plans to release some sort of software to push out mass firmware updates?
2) A CLI command which can download a firmware file and initiate the flash from the CLI? (I can script the batch myself then).
Mass Upgrades

Re: Mass Upgrades
We are working on a web based portal similar to say airCONTROL where you manage and update your firmware of your switches.
One planned feature would be scheduled upgrades and that it will alert you if an upgrade fails.
It will be a web UI interface you host on Linux or Windows.

Support is handled on the Forums not in Emails and PMs.

There is the "firmware upgrade" CLI command. Requires a TFTP url to fetch the firmware from.

Re: Mass Upgrades
Just to be clear, it is not like UBNT TFTP recovery on boot. It is more like in HP Procurve management where TFTP is used for bi-directional file transfers.mhoppes wrote:Bah. Tftp

Re: Mass Upgrades
tftp work fine if you have no NAT between but since we have access to the command line, maybe scp would work.
Personnaly, I would like better a standard like TR069 than a Vendor UI like airControl. We don't like to have multiple software to do the same thing with different devices so we have our own custom customers/tickets/billing/backup/ip address/up~down/map management system sometime based on opensource project like nagios. The other advantage is that we're not lock to a single vendor.
Eric, is the're a way to also script Netonix shell script like it can be done with vyatta via vbash ?

You could use scp too.
scp wispswitch-1.5.12.bin admin@<switch ip>:/tmp
Then at the CLI use "cmdline" to get to the linux command prompt and run "firmware_upgrade /tmp/wispswitch-1.5.12.bin"
