Some upgrades do not require an upgrade to the Boot ROM firmware, therefore
there may not be a new Boot ROM (.btm) file to download.
To display the Boot ROM firmware version, in any view enter:
display version
The switch returns the following:
Bootrom Version is 115
The number 115 matches the version number in the Boot ROM file, which is
s3r01_15.btm. If the version number of the file matches the displayed version,
there is no need to download the boot ROM (.btm) file. If the version displayed on
your Switch 4210 is earlier, install the newer version.
4 Configure the switch to boot from the new application code. See "Configuring
the Boot Loader and Updating the Boot ROM Using the CLI" on page 60 for
instructions.
