Triggering the Upgrade on the ReachNXT 100-8t

The following are triggers for the ReachNXT upgrade. Because of limits on the number of concurrent
TFTP sessions the ExtremeXOS switch can support, Extreme Networks recommends that no more than
eight ReachNXT 100-8t units be upgraded at the same time from a single ExtremeXOS switch. If a
firmware upgrade fails to complete, the upgrade can be triggered again.
Initial connection and power-up
●
If LLDP is enabled on the ExtremeXOS switch, and the ReachNXT XMOD package is installed, the
firmware will be upgraded when the ReachNXT 100-8t is connected and initializes.
Resetting inline power
●
If the ReachNXT 100-8t has already been connected and is powered by the ExtremeXOS switch, reset
it from the ExtremeXOS switch. For example:
# reset inline-power ports 10:48
Disabling and enabling the ExtremeXOS switch port
●
If the ReachNXT 100-8t has already been connected, disable and re-enable the port to trigger the
ReachNXT 100-8t to initiate the upgrade. For example:
# disable port 25
# enable port 25

Verifying the Upgrade

Use the show lldp neighbors detailed command to verify that the new firmware version is installed.

Uninstalling the ReachNXT XMOD Package

After the ReachNXT 100-8t firmware is upgraded, the ReachNXT XMOD package is no longer required
on the ExtremeXOS switch, unless you plan to connect additional ReachNXT 100-8t units. No upgrade
will occur for attached ReachNXT 100-8t units that are running the same firmware version that is
contained in the XMOD package.
