This chapter describes how to update your 3COM Security Switch 6200
system software.
If you are upgrading your system from a previously configured release, you do
not need to use the full system software. Instead, you can use the software
upgrade patch.
NOTE: "upgradepack-ocode-A*-1.0.0-11-2.1.4-17.shar.gz" is the upgrade pack
that will enable you to upgrade from 2.1.x to 2.1.4 (x = 0,1,2). To do this,
complete the following:
1. Login to your system Console port as Root.
2. Change to the root directory, using the following command:
cd /root
3. Create a directory, using the following command:
mkdir upgradepack-X.X.X-X
Where X.X.X-X, is the current software version. For this release X
sequence is 2.1.4-17
4. FTP or copy the file called cos-upgradepack-ocode-AZZZ-Y.Y.Y-Y-
X.X.X-X.shar.gz from your system Software CDROM or software
package to the /root/upgradepack-X.X.X-X.
5. Change the directory to upgradepack-X.X.X-X, using the
following command:
cd upgradepack-X.X.X-X
6. Enter the following command at the root prompt:
gzip –d upgradepack-ocode-AZZZ-Y.Y.Y-Y-X.X.X-X.shar.gz
