Upgrading the Application Software

1-16
The system is now fully operational as an 802.1d spanning
tree-compliant bridge. All ports are assigned to a single VLAN
(virtual local area network):
All ports can send traffic to all other ports in the system
without using a router
The system is a single flood domain, so all broadcast,
multicast, and unknown unicast traffic will be forwarded to
all ports in the system.
Upgrading the application software involves the following steps:
1. Backing Up the Current Software
2. Backing Up the Previous Configuration
3. Downloading Application Software
4. Setting the Startup Image
5. Synchronizing the Active and Standby Supervisor Modules
6. Resetting the Active Supervisor
7. Resetting the Standby Supervisor
8. Verifying the Upgrade
