Hello, fist post
I need to know if it's possible to re-upload a boot.ini file and if it's possible to obtain one. I was attempting to erase the config file and during the process the boot.ini file got corrupted. I tried to download a new image to the switch and it shows it to be successful, but upon reboot I get the message the boot.ini file is corrupted. Also I noticed that the image the switch shows is for a 2530-48G POE+ (J9772A) although the switch I have is a (J9776A) 2530-24G non POE switch. Below is what I get when downloading the new image
You have invoked the console download utility.
