Ping Enhancement; New Unit Quick Configuration; Updating Switch Software - Avaya 4524GT Configuration Manual

Ping enhancement

Using ACLI you can specify additional ping parameters, including the number of ICMP packets
to be sent, the packet size, the interval between packets, and the timeout. You can also set
ping to continuous, or you can set a debug flag to obtain extra debug information.
For more information about ping command, see

New unit Quick configuration

In Software Release 5.2, the New Unit Quick Configuration feature, you can create a default
configuration to apply to any new unit entering a stack configuration. You can add new units
to the stack without resetting the stack.
For more information about New Unit Quick Configuration, see Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch
4500 Series Installation Guide (NN47205-300).

Updating switch software

Updating switch software is a necessary part of switch configuration and maintenance. You
can update the version of software running on the switch through either EDM or ACLI.
Before you attempt to change the switch software, ensure that the following prerequisites are
in place:
• The switch has a valid IP address.
• A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server is on the network that is accessible by the
switch and that has the desired software version loaded.
• If you change the switch software on a an Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4524GT-PWR
or Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4548GT-PWR using a USB Mass Storage Device,
ensure that the Mass Storage Device has the desired software version and is inserted
into the front panel USB port.
• If you use ACLI, ensure that ACLI is in Privileged EXEC mode.
• If you use EDM, ensure that SNMP is enabled.
Important:
When you use the TFTP address parameter to perform copy or download commands, the
system overwrites the TFTP server address
