Unable to update N1124 to v6.8.1.0

Hi, please again download firmware file and extract with 7zip tool to extract the firmware zip file and use USB drive with filesystem FAT32. https://dell.to/3B8Diyi

Hi,

I have tried updating using a serial control and a USB driver, but unfortunately, this also does not work. I get the following error:

This unit requires a version of firmware earlier than 6.8.

Hello Christopher-deHaas,

It looks like it is not supported on N1124T-ON. That is why it says you need an earlier version and the downloaded file is not intended for this product.

6.8.1.0 release notes page 3:

IMPORTANT: Upgrading N1100 series switches other than N1108EP-ON variant of the switch with N1108EP-ON build is not supported. When upgrading from 6.7.1.13 or later versions the firmware prevents the upgrade. However, when upgrading from earlier release than 6.7.1.13 the upgrade itself is not prevented but the behavior is not deterministic. Please ensure to use N1108EPONv6.8.0.x.stk or later releases only on N1108EP-ON switches.
