Loading Software

Problem You have attempted to load a new release file onto the switch, but the load has failed and you cannot access the switch through the GUI.

Solution 1. Access the switch’s CLI (see “Connecting a Terminal or PC” on page 14).

If the switch has been switched off or has rebooted since you attempted to load the release file, it will boot up with the default installation. This contains the commands you require to load a file.

Log into the switch using the manager account and password.

2.Download the release file to the switch. See “Example: Upgrade to a New Software Release Using TFTP” on page 57 for an example.
