AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Software Release Notes

Upgrading the AT-9000 Switch to AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 from Version 2.1.1

This section contains the procedure for upgrading the switch from AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.1 to version 2.1.2, from the command line. Here are the upgrade requirements:

ˆThere must be a TFTP server on your network.

ˆThe switch must be assigned an IP address. For instructions, refer to the AT-9000 AlliedWare Plus User’s Guide.

Caution:

The upgrade process is disruptive to network operations because it resets the switch. The switch does not forward network traffic during the reset.

There are three phases to upgrading the switch:

ˆ“Phase 1. Uploading the Active Boot Configuration File to Your TFTP Server” on page 3

ˆ“Phase 2: Downloading the New AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software” on page 4

ˆ“Phase 3: Updating the Commands” on page 4

Phase 1. Uploading the Active Boot Configuration File to Your TFTP Server

Allied Telesis recommends uploading the active boot configuration file from the switch to your TFTP server before updating the management software on the switch. You’ll use the file in phase 3 to check for v2.1.1 commands that are not compatible with v2.1.2. To upload the active boot configuration file:

1. Start the TFTP server on your network.

1.Start a local or remote management session on the switch.

2.When prompted, enter a username and password. The defaults are “manager” for the username and “friend” for the password.

3.Move to the Privileged Exec mode and enter the SHOW BOOT command to display the name of the active boot configuration file:

awplus# show boot

Here is an example of the information.

Current software			:	v2.1.1
Current boot image :				v2.1.1
Backup boot image			:	Not set
Default	boot	config:		/cfg/boot.cfg
Current	boot	config:		/cfg/sw2bldg2.cfg (file exists)

The name of the active boot configuration file is displayed in the “Current boot config” line.

4.Use the COPY command to upload the boot configuration file from the switch to the TFTP server. Here is the format of the command:

copy flash tftp ipaddress filename.cfg

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the TFTP server. The FILENAME parameter is the name of the boot configuration file you want to upload from the switch to TFTP server. The filename extension must be “.cfg” for boot configuration files. The filename cannot contain spaces.
