3Com 6000 Loading Software

2-4 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING EXTENDED SWITCHING SOFTWARE

Loading Software Before loading the system software on the LMM+, you must verify that the

host machine, which has a copy of the updated system software, is

connected to the system by one of the methods described in Chapter 3:

Conﬁguring Management Access to the System in the LANplex 6000

Administration Console User Guide.

You can load the system software into ﬂash memory while the system is

operating. You do not need to bring the system down. After the ﬂash install is

completed, a reboot will put the newly-loaded software to use.

If you are loading software from a PC, the ftp server must be running on the

PC before beginning this procedure.

How long will a

software load take?

Loading software into ﬂash memory takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes

to complete, depending on your network load.

To load the system software:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system softwareUpdate

You are prompted for the Host IP address, Install ﬁle path name, User name,

and Password. The current values are displayed in brackets [ ]. To use the

value in brackets, press [Return]. The password ﬁeld does not display what

you enter.

2Enter the IP address of the host machine from which you are installing the

software (such as a Sun workstation or PC).

In the following example, the IP address of the host is 192.9.200.96.

3Enter the complete path and ﬁle name.

For DOS system syntax, you must precede the full pathname with a forward

slash (/). For example, if you are loading software from a DOS host, enter the

following at the Install Filename prompt:

/c:\lp6000R\lp6000R

4Enter your user name.

5Enter your password. You must enter a value for this ﬁeld.
