  • When attempting to upgrade Brocade Gen7 switch firmware using the firmwaredownload command with HTTP protocol, the operation fails with the following error:
Firmware access timeout.The server is inaccessible or firmware path is invalid.Please make sure the server name/IP address and the firmware path are valid, the protocol and authentication are supported.[SULB-1036] Failed to access http://anonymous:@<server_ip>:80/<path>/release.plist
  • Attempts using both the raw archive filename (e.g., v9.2.2c_G7_MID.tar.gz) and the extracted sub-directory (e.g., v9.2.2c1_G7_MID/SWBD181) for the FileName field result in the same error.
