Upgrading the Management Software

When 3Com issues a new version of the management software
agent for the Dual Speed Hub 500, you can upgrade the units in your
stack.
You must copy the new management software agent into the
appropriate directory on a TFTP server (use the directory that the TFTP
server has been configured to look in). For information on how to
use your TFTP server, refer to the documentation that accompanies it.
During a software upgrade, you are unable to communicate with the
stack. After a successful upgrade, the stack resets itself and
communication is restored. The upgrade process may take up to
5 minutes for each unit.
When you upgrade a stack, the new management software is stored
in each unit. If you add a unit that is running a different version of
management software, you must upgrade the unit to ensure that all
of the units have the same functionality.
To upgrade the management software for the stack:
1 At the top-level menu, enter:
system softwareUpgrade
2 You are prompted for the TFTP server's IP address:
TFTP Server Address [0.0.0.0]:
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server that contains the new
management software agent.
3 You are prompted for the file name of the new management
software agent:
File Name [DSH01_01.bin]:
The file name format is DSHxx_yy.bin, where xx_yy is the version
of agent software, for example DSH02_00.bin.
The command line interface starts the software upgrade.
