Wait for the release to load. This can take several minutes, even if you are loading the file over a high speed link. To see the progress of the load, enter the command:

SHOW LOAD

To check that the files are successfully loaded, enter the command:

SHOW FILE

3.Enter licence information for the release.

Enter the licence password for the software release.

ENABLE RELEASE=87-261.rezPASSWORD=ce645398fbe

NUMBER=2.6.1

The release licence password is provided by your authorised distributor or reseller and is unique for the release number, the file name and the switch’s serial number.

4.Test the release.

Set the new release to run as a temporary install. This sets the switch to load the new release once only when it reboots.

SET INSTALL=TEMPORARY RELEASE=87-261.rez

If you want to use the current switch configuration again, store the dynamic configuration as a configuration script file and set the switch to use this configuration when it restarts. Releases are generally backward- compatible, so your current configuration should run with little or no modifications on the later release.

CREATE CONFIG=myconfig.cfg

SET CONFIG=myconfig.cfg

The SET CONFIG information survives the release update.

Reboot the switch.

RESTART REBOOT

The switch reboots, loading the new release file and the specified configuration. Display the install history, and check that the temporary release was loaded.

SHOW INSTALL

5.Make the release the default (permanent) release.

If the switch operates correctly with the new release, make the release permanent.

SET INSTALL=PREFERRED RELEASE=87-261.rez

Every time the switch reboots from now on, it loads the new release from

FLASH.
