Foundry NetIron M2404C/M2404F Metro Access Switches

1.Copy the device software image file to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation.

2.Log into the switch through the console port or through a Telnet session. If you log in using Telnet, your Telnet session will disconnect when you reset the switch to run the new software.

3.Make sure there is enough free space on the device file system. Use “dir” command for this. Free disk space should be at least 0.5MB larger then the downloaded application size.

Example:

device-name#dir
Listing Directory flash:/:					17:56 Boot/
d	S	2048	Jun 30 2005
d	S	2048	Jan	1 1993	00:04 Etc/

4.If there is not enough free space, delete unnecessary files. This is done by using “del” command.

device-name#del<filename>

Example:

device-name#del /Boot/Oldimage.bin

5.Download the device software image from the TFTP server using the copy application command in Privileged (Enable) mode:

device-name#copy application <TFTP URL> [<destination file name>]

Example:

device-name#copy application tftp://192.192.54.10/M2404Cv2.0.bin

NOTE The switch remains operational while the image is downloaded.

The application is downloaded into /Boot directory.
