Author Topic: How to transfer data ... slowly. Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 08-04-2004 06:42 PM                     I've just bought a secondhand network switch for home, to replace an old hub. I needed to upgrade the firmware in it, about 650kB, and there's something wrong with the old firmware, so I can't do a TFTP transfer, I've got to do an Xmodem transfer over the serial console port at 2400 bps, can't configure the port to go any faster until I get the new firmware loaded. I'm getting about 1940 'useful' bps, it's horrible. I remember a time when I thought 300bps was fast!  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 08-05-2004 12:12 AM                     bummer dude, what type of switch is it?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

That's only a 45 minute and 45 seconds transfer... no biggie, it takes longer to download my spam.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 08-05-2004 04:56 PM                     An old HP Procurve 224M. We've got a few 2524s and a 212M at work, but most of our switches sre unmanged Netgears at the edge, and Extreme elsewhere, Black Diamond 6808 at the core, with lots of Summit48si a handful of Summit 24e3 and a Summit 5i in the cabinets. The first 300 bps I saw was a dot matrix printing terminal, which seemed really fast when you were used to teletypes running at 110.  |  IP: Logged
