AXP 1.6.1 Install on SM-SRE-700

Combination View Flat View Tree View
I'm trying to install AXP 1.6.1 onto a blank SM-SRE-700 but am not
having any success.  I've searched the forum threads and did find
another customer have trouble doing the same thing, and adjusted configs
based on responses, but still cannot complete the installation.  I
confirmed the SRE is hitting the FTP server (see attachment ftp_log.txt)
and verified the AXP 1.6.1 files on on the ftp server (see attachment
axp-k9-sme-1.6.1.txt with checksums).  The install session shows the SRE
gets to "SRE step 5 - SM requests installer info", but then times out. 
From the ftp logs the only files requested are
axp-k9.sme.16.1.pkg.install.sre and axp-k9.sme.1.6.1.key.  The running
config is also attached. Any idea what might be causing the install to
fail? 
Thanks.

Hi John,

From the configs came to know that you are using IP Unnumbered, so while using ip unnumbered the default ip route typically is the ip of the interface being pointed to i.e.In your case it should be 192.168.3.140 and not 192.168.3.1. Change this config and give a try.

Please refer to the sample config pasted below for your reference.

IP Unnumbered Configuration
----------------------------------
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
duplex auto
speed auto
no mop enabled

interface SM1/0
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/0
service-module ip address 10.1.1.20 255.255.255.0
service-module ip default-gateway 10.1.1.2
no keepalive

ip route 10.1.1.20 255.255.255.255 SM1/0


BTW I was not able to find the checksums in the file attached. You can cross check with the following

Thanks,

Anusha,
I changed the service-module default gateway ip as you suggested (same as router interface) but still had the same result. The install failed at "SRE Step 5 - SM requests installer info..." The checksums I included were based on the "cksum" command. I reran with md5sum and compared to the ones you provided and they all match, so the SME 1.6.1 files are good. Do you have any other suggestions I can try? Thanks for your help.
John

Hi John,

Please try the following below and let us know your results.

1. Shut down the router. Pull out then reseat the service module and power back on.

2. On the router type: 'show ip interface brief' and assure that all relevant interfaces (i.e. SM1/0, Gig0/0) are up.

3. You can restore your default ip route back to what you originally had configured.

4. Please remove the other default ip route 'ip default-gateway 192.168.3.1'.

5. Retry the installation.

Thanks,

Brett

Brett,
I completed the steps as you suggested and was able to successfully
install AXP 1.6.1 on the SRE-700. I wonder if the reseat or all steps
combined made this work. Thanks for your assistance.
John
