to the Switch Management Guide or the CLI Reference Guide.

5Use the install command after the software files have been transferred to the switch via FTP. For example:

-> install /flash/working/*.img

Note. For more information on the install command, refer

to the Switch Management Guide or the CLI Reference Guide.

6Reload the switch from the /flash/working directory. To do this, enter

-> reload working no rollback-timeout

at the CLI prompt.

Note. This reload process will take a few moments to complete.

Following the reload, the switch will come up running from the /flash/working directory (i.e., the new release software) until the next system reboot. Meanwhile, the software in the /flash/certified directory remains unchanged and available as a last known good version if an error should occur with the new software.

Once the release software is considered valid and reliable with your network configuration, the contents of the /flash/working directory can be copied to the /flash/certified directory via the copy working certified command.

Redundant Configurations

1Verify that the OK1 LED is solid green and the OK2 LED is flashing green on both the primary and secondary CMM modules.

2Next, verify that all required image files from the new software release are located on your computer’s hard drive or a locally-accessibleserver.

3Establish an FTP session to the switch, then access the /flash/working directory.

Note. Before attempting to establish an FTP session, be sure that you have first unlocked the FTP session type via the aaa authentication command. Otherwise, an FTP login error will occur. See “Unlocking Session Types” on page 22 for more information.

4Using your FTP client or the CLI’s rm command, delete all .img files from the /flash/working directory on the primary CMM. (To determine whether you are logged into the primary CMM, use the show running-directorycommand.) You can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to delete all .img files at once. For example:

-> rm working/*.img

Important. Do not delete the boot.cfg file. Otherwise, any configuration changes you have saved will be lost. Also, do not delete files from the /flash/certified direc- tory.
