Upgrading the Software Using the CLI
This section describes how to upgrade software to your Switch from the Command Line
Interface (CLI).
You will need a TFTP server application to upgrade the software using this method. Please refer
to the instructions that accompanied the TFTP application.
Note: You can also upgrade the software using the switch Web user interface.
See "Upgrade Firmware" page 33.
1. To download the runtime application file, enter:
IP tftpget aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa rrr
where aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa is the IP address of the TFTP server and rrr is the source runtime
filename.
2. To set the switch to boot from the new software you have downloaded, enter the
following:
system reboot
3. The system will now reboot the switch.

Accessing the Switch using the 3Com Detect Application
The 3Com Detect application works by automatically locating your Switch, establishing what IP
address it is using and then launching your default web browser to connect directly to it.
The application will only locate your switch if it is on the same subnet as the PC on
which the application is running. It will not be able to locate your Switch if there is a
router between your PC and the Switch. The application is only designed to run on
Windows operating systems.
Running the 3Com Detect Application
The 3Com Managed Gigabit Switch CD-ROM contains in addition to the documentation the
3Com Detect Application.
To use 3Com Detect to connect to the web interface of your Switch, do the following:
1. On the computer that is connected to your Switch (either directly or on a network that is
on the same subnet), insert the CD-ROM into it's CD drive.
If you have autorun enabled, you will be presented with a menu showing the contents of
the CD-ROM. Select the 3Com Detect Application link to install the utility. Follow the
onscreen instructions.
If the auto-run program does not start, you should browse to your CD-ROM drive, go to
the /switch detect directory and double click on setup.exe. Follow the prompts that will
take you through the installation process.
