Can't update CPLD on member switch N2000

I'm very new to Dell switches. These particular switches were purchased and installed by an outside organization. There are 4 switches in total (N3048P, N2048P, N2024P, N2048P) and they stacked 2 of them, the 2024 & one of the 2048s, with the 2024 being the 'master'. 

I was having issues connecting via SSH to these units and found that updating the firmware fixes the issue. I did the individual switches first with no issues and then the stack. The master in the stack updated completely, but the member switch (2048) will not update the CPLD to version 15. The firmware updated fine though.

The instructions say to connect to member switches individually via the console port, but, when I try, I get told that I can only connect to the master this way. What am I missing!?

Thanks!

Tim

    Well, now I feel dumb. The message about connecting to the master switch WAS the prompt! I ran the command and it updated fine. Thanks for the assist!

    Hi,

    Does it let you type anything when connected to the member switch? The command should be devshell cpldUpdate

    It didn't even give a prompt, just the message about connecting to the master switch. I'm going to be on-site again today, so I'll hook up to it again.

    Thanks,
