SG 200-08p Wont upgrade firmware

[rosenblitt]

I have a fleet of the SG-200-08P switches which are way behind on firmware. I went to upgrade them to the newest firmware available:

     "sx200_fw_1.3.7.18.ros"

After about a 5-7 minute wait, the web interface returned the message (tired multiple times):

     "Firmware Image download through HTTP failed. Wrong File Type."

I reset the router, same results. I went and installed the second most recent verson, "SG200-08x_FW_1.0.7.4.stk", which installed without any issues. Then tried the "sx200_fw_1.3.7.18.ros" file and again with the same result:

     "Firmware Image download through HTTP failed. Wrong File Type."

I then did a factory reset and tried again, same results. It seems that none of my routers want to use the .ros files, it preferes the .stk files. What am I doing wrong?

I'm accessing the upgrade feature via "Main Menu -> Administration -> Upgrade/Backup firmware" and have it set to:

  X - via Http

  X - Upgrade

  X - Firmware image

Please HELP!!!

Marc,

SG200-08x_FW_1.0.7.4.stk is the latest firmware for the SG200-08x.

sx200_fw_1.3.7.18.ros was posted on the download page by mistake. We are working on getting it removed.

Thanks for the info. I was working off another post where someone laid claim to installing the 1.3.x firmware on their sg200 to enable SNMP protocols for Spiceworks Management software.

Does this mean there is no SNMP options for the SG200-08P switches?

Marc,

The person who made the claim may have had a larger SG200. The SG200-08x has a custom firmware due to hardware limitations. There are no SNMP options at this time.

Hi Marty,

I'm having a similar issue. I have a SG200-08 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch and am trying to upgrade firmware to 1.4.10.06, but keep getting the same error message regarding wrong file type (sx200_fw-14106.ros). I started out with firmware 1.0.6.2 and have been able to upgrade to 1.0.8.3. The next available upgrade on the downloads page is 1.4.10.06 and my switch won't accept it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lisa
