Thanks Joseph ,

but i need to fromat and then to upload the firmware , i found in the database a good tutorial :

http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Controller-Based-WLANs/How-do-I-upload-an-image-from-CPBoot-using-setenv-ethact-xlr/ta-p/177958

but i cant ping my pr from the conrolleur, and  i can't upload the firmware from my tftp server (my Laptop).

That tutuorial only applies to 3000 series controllers, so no, it is not a good one..

Did you see the LAST post in the thread I posted above?  http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Access/650-ArubaOS-upgrade-from-USB/m-p/94940/highlight/true#M16277

setenv ethact xls_gmac1

setenv ethprime xls_gmac1

that's what i got

_____

cpboot> setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.1
cpboot> setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
cpboot> setenv gatewayip 10.0.0.2
cpboot> setenv serverip 10.0.0.2
cpboot> setenv ethact xls_gmac1
cpboot> setenv ethprime xls_gmac1
cpboot>
cpboot> ping 10.0.0.2
Using xls_gmac1 device
ping failed; host 10.0.0.2 is not alive

it haven't work any other idea.

Do you have it plugged into the second port from the left?

The 650 I think requires you to be in a specific port. This is what I have from my notes a long while back (RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK):

#########

The 6xx models use a JFFS2 F/S on raw NAND Flash. To delete and recreate the /flash partition from cpboot you need to run the command actually a u-boot alias in the environment) "run wipe-out-flash". If cpboot can't find the command alias for "wipe-out-flash" you need to execute "purgeenv" first. This function is implemented in the default environment. The image partitions get deleted and recreated whenever "upgrade" is used to upgrade an image partition.

1. Console into the controller's serial port and reload the controller and interrupt the boot to 'cpboot>'
2. From 'cpboot', enter 'purgeenv'
3. From 'cpboot', enter 'run wipe-out-flash', this will wipe the flash
4. Connect your laptop ethernet interface to Gig1/1
5. Start up the TFTP server and put the firmware you wish to load into the TFTP directory
6. Run the following commands to set the IP address and TFTP server IP
a. setenv ipaddr <ipaddress>
b. setenv netmask <netmask>
c. setenv gatewayip <gateway>
d. setenv serverip <tftp-serverip>
7. Enter the command 'upgrade 0 <firmware-name>'.
8. Once done, enter 'boot' at 'cpboot>' to reload the controller wiht the new firmware.

Once this is done, the controller will be back in factory-default mode and can be re-configured, restored, etc.

I have followed your steps with no success. After wiping and connecting my laptop, there is no basic IP connectivity.

Please help.

"The 650 I think requires you to be in a specific port.".  Try either the leftmost or the rightmost port to see if you have connectivity.

Hello -

Follow up: I got it to work, I had to hard set my laptop's NIC to 10MB-FULL in order to get connectivity.

Thanks -
Mike

That is correct, I did mine that way as well. DOnt know why we have to har code the NIC to 10/Full DUPLEX but it worked. I was able to upload my firmware.
