Software Installation - Brocade Communications Systems FESX624HF Installation Manual

11. Reinstall the device in its equipment rack, if applicable.
12. Re-insert the power cables to power on the device.
13. Install the software as instructed in the following section.

Software installation

Use the instructions in this section to install the software after installing a Layer 3 upgrade DIP key.
Before installing the software
Note the following prior to installing the software:
•
The device must have an IP address. If the device does not already have an IP address, configure one by entering the ip address
<ip-addr> <ip-mask> or ipv6 address <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length> command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI for Layer 2
images, or at the Interface level of the CLI for base Layer 3 and full Layer 3 images. For detailed instructions, refer to the
<Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
•
If an incorrect DIP key or no DIP key is installed, the switch will boot up on the Layer 2 or base Layer 3 software image. It will not
boot up on the full Layer 3 software image.
•
Before removing a DIP key (if you are not going to replace it with another one), Brocade recommends that you first install the
Layer 2 or base Layer 3 software image, since the system will not boot up on the full Layer 3 software image after a DIP key is
removed. If desired, prior to removing the DIP key, enter the boot system tftp CLI command into the startup configuration to
allow the system to boot the Layer 2 or base Layer 3 software image from a TFTP server. Alternatively, you could enter the boot
system tftp command from the boot monitor.
NOTE
To boot the device from a TFTP server through a fiber connection, use the CLI command boot system tftp <ip-address>
<filename> fiber-port.
Installing the software
Complete the following steps to install the software.
1. Copy the Layer 3 software from kp.foundrynet.com onto a TFTP server to which the device has network access. If you are not
sure which software image file is the one you want to install, refer to the release notes.
2. If you normally boot the device from the primary or secondary flash, continue with this step. Otherwise, skip to
Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI to copy the Layer 3 software from the TFTP server onto
the device.
copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <file-name> primary | secondary
where <ip-addr> specifies the IP address of the TFTP server, <file-name> is the system software image file name, and primary or
secondary specifies the flash area. For example, to copy software release FER03000.bin into the primary flash, enter the
following command.
Brocade
# copy tftp flash 209.1.4.69 FER03000.bin primary
The CLI will display a message showing that it is erasing the current contents of the flash area you specified. The CLI will then
display a message when the copy is complete. If you receive an error message instead, refer to the "Diagnostic Error Codes and
Remedies for TFTP Transfers" section of the "Updating Software Images and Configuration Files" chapter in the <Italic>FastIron
Configuration Guide.
