PowerConnect 5324 Copy Config via TFTP Error

​ First, a configuration file is saved over TFTP to the desktop. This is successful. ​

​ Next, this same configuration file is copied to startup via TFTP onto another PC5324 fresh out of the box, which only has the minimum configuration established on the console to communicate with a TFTP server. I've seen this on other units, including over the web interface, so this is a firmware problem. ​

​ ​

​ The following is the console log: ​

​ ​

​ console# copy tftp://192.0.10.55/Dell0325.cfg startup-config ​
​01-Jan-2000 01:32:49 %TFTP-A-TftpTxERROR: An error message was sent: 0 y application> ​
​... ​
​Copy: Error in configuration download Line: 3 Command: spanning-tree bpdu filter ​
​ing ​

​ console# 01-Jan-2000 01:32:53 %COPY-W-TRAP: The copy operation has failed ​

​ ​

​ Next the offending line of text is removed from the configuration file and the copy reattempted: ​

​ ​

​ console# copy tftp://192.0.10.55/Dell0325fix.cfg startup-config ​
​!!...! ​
​Copy: 10497 bytes copied in 00:00:12 [hh:mm:ss] ​

​ console# 01-Jan-2000 01:38:16 %COPY-W-TRAP: The copy operation was completed suc ​
​cessfully ​

​ console# ​

​ ​

​ Finally, the deleted setting must be manually entered and the configuration saved. ​

​ ​

​ What follows is the first 10 lines of the configuration file (before fixing): ​

​ ​

​ spanning-tree mode rstp ​
​spanning-tree priority 45056 ​
​spanning-tree bpdu filtering ​
​spanning-tree pathcost method long ​
​interface ethernet g1 ​
​spanning-tree disable ​
​exit ​
​interface ethernet g2 ​
​spanning-tree disable ​
​exit ​
​ ​

​ A firmware fix would be appreciated as I will eventually need an automated way of setting up switches. ​
