Method 2:

We have developed a binary to execute all of the above operations to simply the process

Please download the zip file and unzip it to extract the Versa_csg300s_i354_fix_2024-01-23 1.run file

Upload this file to the problematic csg355 or csg350 (to /home/admin or any directory - it doesn't matter)

Set the permissions for this file on the device using the below

chmod a+x Versa_csg300s_i354_fix_2024-01-23 1.run

Execute the file as below

sudo ./Versa_csg300s_i354_fix_2024-01-23 1.run

Once the execution has completed please execute a reboot using "sudo reboot"

Check "show interfaces brief" if the ports are detected fine

Note: If you execute this run file on a device where there are no issues with the i354 ports then it will return the below result (also note the md5sum for reference)

When executed on a problematic node it will mention the below stating "I354 fix done" post which you will need to execute "sudo reboot"
