Issue/Introduction
When trying to upload firmware using NCM (network configuration manager) the error Invalid Source Name or Invalid Destination Name is received.
Environment
Release : 10.4
Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER
Resolution
"Invalid Source Name" is a response from the device as well as Destination Name.
This is not a Spectrum problem, but a device one.
You can run a wireshark capture to see the response.
