Chapter 11: Upgrading switch software

Upgrading software using ACLI

You can download the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series software image that is in
nonvolatile flash memory. To download the software image, a properly configured Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server must be present in your network, and the Ethernet Routing
Switch 3500 Series must have an IP address.
Caution:
Do not interrupt power to the device during the software download process. A power
interruption can corrupt the firmware image.

Upgrading switch software

Upgrade the software for the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series. You can upgrade both the
software image and the diagnostics image.
Important:
The system resets after downloading a new image.
Procedure
1. Log on to ACLI in Privileged EXEC command mode.
2. At the command prompt, enter the following command:
Getting Started
download [address <ip>] {image <image-name>|image-if-newer
<image-name>|diag <filename> [no-reset] | poe-module-image }
Important:
You can use the download command without parameters. The system displays
the most recently used TFTP server IP address and file name; if you still want to
use these, press Enter. You can also change these.
The software download process automatically completes without user intervention.
The process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it with a new
software image. Take care not to interrupt the download process until after it runs
