Thanks a lot for the info. Going to try that now!

Hi Alain,

You can’t upgrade straight from 5.0.0 to 6.3.0, you first need to upgrade to 6.0.0 and then you can upgrade to 6.3.0.

Good Luck!

I was wondering if there’s actually a difference between Avaya’s ERS 5000 Series and Nortel’s 5000’s series.

I’m trying to upgrade a Nortel 5530-24TFD from version 5.0.0 and I downloaded this image: https://support.avaya.com/downloads/download-details.action?contentId=C2013919152449620_4&productId=P0611

The one labeled as 5xxx_632010.img , 6.3.x

But whenever I try to pass it to the switch via TFTP it says “Invalid Image”

Am I downloading the incorrect one? Some guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Reynaud,

While your post isn’t exactly on topic it’s a decent question.

You’ll need to download the MIBS for the ERS4500 series switch from Nortel.

Unfortunately or fortunately the 4500 and 8600 switches share several OIDs between each other from the RAPID-CITY MIB. You should look for “rcVlanEntry” in the RAPID-CITY MIB as a starting point.

Good Luck!

I would like find the OID for the port Vlan on a switch Nortel. In particular on the 4548GT-PWR.

Help me please.

Thanks. great site.

Guillaume.
