Loading System Image Software

By default, the SSR boots using the system image software installed on the Control Module’s PCMCIA flash card. To upgrade the system software and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure.

1.Display the current boot settings by entering the system show version command: Here is an example:

ssr# system show version

Note: In this example, the location “pc-flash” indicates that the SSR is set to use the factory-installed software on the flash card.

2.Copy the software upgrade you want to install onto a TFTP server that the SSR can access. (Use the ping command to verify that the SSR can reach the TFTP server.)

3.Use the system image add command to copy the software upgrade onto the PCMCIA flash card in the Control Module.

Here is an example:

Image checksum validated. Image added.

4.Enter the system image list command to list the images on the PCMCIA flash card and verify that the new image is on the card:

Here is an example:

ssr# system image list

Images currently available: img2100

5.Use the system image choose command to select the image file the SSR will use the next time you reboot the switch.

Here is an example:

ssr# system image choose img2100

Making image img2100 the active image for next reboot
