Upgrading switch firmware

=======================

Select option 'F' to go to the Firmware Configuration menu from

the Main Menu. An example of the Firmware Configuration Menu is:

Upgrading with a TFTP Server

============================

1 Copy the switch firmware file to the TFTP server.

2 Select option 'S' from the Firmware Configuration menu and

enter the IP address of the server where the switch upgrade
file is located.

3 Select option 'F' from the Firmware Configuration menu and

enter the name of the firmware-upgrade file.

4 Select 'T' from the Firmware Configuration menu to initiate

the upgrade.

5 Verify the upgrade is in progress by checking the Upgrade status

section of the Firmware Configuration Menu. If the upgrade is
in progress, the field reads "in-progress"

6 When the transfer is complete, the switch resets automatically

and executes the newly downloaded firmware.

Caution During the transfer of the upgrade file, the switch might not
respond to commands for as long as 1 minute. This is normal
and correct. If you interrupt the transfer by turning the
switch off and on, the firmware could be corrupted. If this
happens, follow the procedure described in "Using the
Diagnostic Console" in the chapter "Troubleshooting" of
the Installation and Configuration guide to restart the
firmware.

Upgrading with a TFTP Client

============================
1 Copy the switch firmware file to the TFTP client workstation.

2 On the TFTP client workstation, establish a TFTP session using

the IP address assigned to the switch.

3 Ensure that the TFTP client is in binary transfer mode.

4 At the command line, enter "put" and the filename.

5 Verify the upgrade is in progress by checking the upgrade status

section of the Firmware Configuration Menu.
If the upgrade is in progress, the field reads "in-progress".

6 When the transfer is complete, the switch resets automatically

and executes the newly downloaded firmware.

Caution During the transfer of the upgrade file, the switch might not
respond to commands for as long as 1 minute. This is normal
and correct. If you interrupt the transfer by turning the
switch off and on, the firmware could be corrupted. If this
happens, follow the procedure described in "Using the
Diagnostic Console" in the chapter "Troubleshooting" of
the Installation and Configuration guide to restart the
firmware.

Upgrading with XMODEM

=====================

1 Copy the switch firmware file to the system running the XMODEM application.

2 Select option 'U' from the Firmware Configuration menu to initiate the
XMODEM download.

3 When the first XMODEM request appears, use the appropriate command
to start the transfer from the application supporting XMODEM transfer.

4 When the transfer is completed, the switch resets automatically

and executes the newly downloaded firmware.

Caution During the transfer of the upgrade file, the switch might not
respond to commands for as long as 1 minute. This is normal
and correct. If you interrupt the transfer by turning the
switch off and on, the firmware could be corrupted. If this
happens, follow the procedure described in "Using the
Diagnostic Console" in the chapter "Troubleshooting" of
the Installation and Configuration guide to restart the
firmware.
