Before performing the following update bootcode command, read the Release Notes and any special
instructions for updating the firmware release. It is generally required that you update bootcode only
on major releases of the firmware, whereas minor releases will not require the update to bootcode. It
is recommended to only run this command if required. Press Y when prompted.
console#update bootcode
Update bootcode and reset (Y/N)?Y
Issuing boot code update command... Validating boot code from image...CRC
Valid.
Updating and rebooting the stack will take a few minutes longer than a single switch. If the bootcode is
not required, then a simple reload command will need to be performed. After reload, the firmware
upgrade is complete.
