3.1.8 dp8000 update problem

We couldn´t update our dp8k with hog3 and 3.1.8 software.
Forcing update by pressing buttons at startup didn´t help.
Tried with crosscable and switch, no difference.
The dp8k just ran thru a text loop and ended up waiting for update command. Hog3 tried to update the dp8k (as it should), but the dp never got the new software. The textloop in dp8k screen is very fast, but at the end it says that something "FAILED". And after this just endlesly new update suggestions after dp8k loop and the same again and again.

Luckily we had also a Full Boar with 3.1.8.
We connected dp8k to full boar with crosscable (same cable we tried with hog3) and update was succesfull with first try.

After this when both hog3 and dp8k had the same software the system works just fine.

Both hog3 and fullboar have automatical ip settings and running dhcp etc etc... very basic setup.

Updating system has worked just fine up to version 3.1.7.

    If it's taking 30 minutes to get an address from your DHCP server in normal operation, then you have a network problem. Until you resolve that problem, you'll have no luck getting 3.1.8 to install on the DP8000. DHCP should take 4 or 5 seconds at the absolute maximum.

    Do you have spanning tree enabled in your network switches? Are the ports configured in Edgeport mode, or do you have DHCP snooping enabled in the switch? Are there multiple DHCP servers on the network that may be conflicting with one another?

    Your best bet may be to bypass the network and use a crossover cable directly between the Hog3 and the DP. I doubt your console has a network problem because if you did you'd have problems running a show, not just getting a DHCP address.
