Step2 Update the Boot ROM program on the switch.

<Sysname> bootrom update file 4510G.btm

This command will update BootRom file, Continue? [Y/N]y

Updating BootRom, please wait...

Upgrade Bootrom succeeded!

Step3 Update the host software on the switch.

<Sysname>

boot-loader file 4510G.bin

<Sysname> display boot-loader

The current boot app is:

flash:/ 4510G.bin

The main boot app is:

flash:/ 4510G.bin

The backup boot app is:

flash:/ 4510Gbak.bin

Step4 Restart the switch to make the updated host software and the Boot ROM file effective.

<Sysname> reboot

Before restarting the switch, make sure other configurations are all saved to avoid the loss of configuration information.

After the steps above, the Boot ROM and host software loading is completed.

Pay attention to the following points:

zHost software loading takes effect only after you restart the switch with the reboot command.

zIf the space of the flash memory is not enough, you can delete the useless files in the flash memory before software downloading.

zPower interruption is not allowed during software loading.

Loading Software Using TFTP

The remote loading by using TFTP is similar to the remote loading by using FTP. The only difference is that it is TFTP that you use when loading software to the switch. In this case, the switch can only be used as a TFTP client.
