Remember to Save

Regardless of which download option is used, configurations are downloaded into switch runtime
memory, only. The configuration is saved only when the

If the configuration currently running in the switch does not match the configuration that the switch
used when it originally booted, an asterisk (*) appears before the command line prompt when using the
CLI.

Upgrading and Accessing BootROM

The BootROM of the switch initializes certain important switch variables during the boot process. If
necessary, BootROM can be upgraded, after the switch has booted, using TFTP. In the event the switch
does not boot properly, some boot option functions can be accessed through a special BootROM menu.

Upgrading BootROM

Upgrading BootROM is done using TFTP (from the CLI), after the switch has booted. Upgrade the
BootROM only when asked to do so by an Extreme Networks technical representative. To upgrade the
BootROM, use the following command:
download bootrom [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename>]

Accessing the BootROM menu

Interaction with the BootROM menu is only required under special circumstances, and should be done
only under the direction of Extreme Networks Customer Support. The necessity of using these functions
implies a non-standard problem which requires the assistance of Extreme Networks Customer Support.
To access the BootROM menu, follow these steps:
1 Attach a serial cable to the console port of the switch.
2 Attach the other end of the serial cable to a properly configured terminal or terminal emulator,
power cycle the switch while depressing the spacebar on the keyboard of the terminal.
