automated update of the software, then this period of time will be increased as the switch
will need to perform an automatic reboot during the IP.CFG process to load the designated
software.
Checking the status of the download
Perform this procedure to check the status of the download three minutes after the Avaya
banner page appears.
Press CTRL and y keys together.
Two possible responses indicate a pass or fail status.
You can confirm the successful download with the show ip command. If the USB ip.cfg file
download succeeded, all parameters read from the ip.cfg file show as present in the switch
and become part of the runtime configuration. If there is an error parsing the ip.cfg file, a log
entry provides an indication of the error encountered.
If you have disabled autosave, then save the configuration with the ACLI command, copy
config nvram. After the successful ip.cfg file download from the USB memory device, you
can manage the switch through Telnet and SNMP.
If you load any diagnostic or agent images with ip.cfg, the diagnostic or agent images need to
be on the same USB memory device. Restart the system after you download the ip.cfg files.
To ensure that diagnostic and agent image downloaded successfully, check in the system log or
audit log. If the operation is successful, restart the switch or stack to display the new diagnostic
and agent images.
If you download an ASCII file, you must enter the settings after the download. You do not need
to restart the switch or stack if you download an ASCII file.

Set IP parameters using bootp

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series switches are configured to obtain a
management IP address using BOOTP by default
If the switch is connected to the network and an appropriate bootp server is configured, then
the server assigns an IP address to the switch.
To view the assigned and in-use IP addresses, connect to the switch console and enter the
show ip command.
