Loading New Switch Control Code into Flash:

Load new flash code only under the direction of Ancor Customer Service. Ancor will make this code available over the Internet. Move this executable module into your local management station.

To load a new I/O processor flash into the Switch:

1.Connect to the Switch using TFTP.

2.Select binary file transfer mode.

3.Transfer the Switch processor control code into the Switch file named mkiiload .

For example, if the new Switch control code is located in a local file named s4switch.fls, then your TFTP session may look like this if you are using a Unix management station:

#tftp	(Start TFTP)
tftp> connect 10.0.0.1	(Connect to the Switch)
tftp> binary	(Select binary file transfer mode)

binary mode

tftp> put s4switch.fls mkiiload (Transfer the file) transferred 139278 bytes in 42.7 seconds. tftp> quit

#

If the file transfer succeeds, the new Switch control code has been saved in the Switch flash, and will be executed the next time the Switch is reset. A reset operation takes place when the Switch power is cycled. You may also reset the Switch using TFTP. This is described later in this section.
