(ASCEND) RE: SNMP and OS = BUG?
Correct, the box does not respond to SNMP while uploading.
Simply wait till it is fininshed.

I kind of ran into the same problem but after I telnetted to the box
to see it was actually upgrading (you can go into debug mode
and watch the little .......... thingies go by) I just let the box sit
a few minutes and eventually SNMP services returned and that's when
I knew it was ready.
You're right though, the box doesn't respond to any SNMP commands
while it's upgrading. I'm certain that's for a reason though.
Just wait for the box for about 5-6 minutes as it downloads firmware.
Also ensure your TFTP path is an absolute pathname.
