1.Show versions

2.Select alternate version

3.Load new firmware via Ethernet

4.Load new firmware via serial

5.Reboot

6.Exit menu

The Internal Firmware Versions list displays the current and alternate firmware loaded on the switch. The Boot firmware is installed during the manufacturing process and manages the loading of the current firmware on the switch during power-up. The Boot firmware cannot be configured or modified.

To select the alternate firmware version, type 2 at the prompt. A message appears informing you that the Alternate firmware version has been selected and will load on the next switch boot.

Downloading New Firmware

You can use either of the following available download methods for Windows; for Unix workstations, use the Ethernet (TFTP) method.

To download firmware from a binary file, type fw and choose the desired downloading method.

Ethernet (TFTP) Method (Menu Option 3)

Use the Ethernet (TFTP) method for Unix workstations (this method can also be used on Windows NT workstations).

1. Type: 3 at the prompt.

The following message appears.

Ready for TFTP file transfer

IP address: IPaddressForYourCard

Destination: ramdisk

2.For Windows:

•Use a command line to move to the directory containing the new firmware and type the following (where IPaddress is the switch’s IP address and filename is the name of the binary firmware file) and press Enter.

tftp -i IPaddress PUT filename ramdisk

Within a few seconds, the “Transfer successful” message appears. (If the message does not appear, verify that the file is good and repeat the transfer.)

3.For Unix workstations:

a.At a Unix prompt, type the following (where IPaddress is the switch’s IP address) and press Enter.

tftp IPaddress

b.Type the following and press Enter. binary

c.Type the following (where filename is the name of the binary firmware file) and press Enter.

put filename /ram

A message appears confirming that the file was sent.
