Upgrading the ReachNXT 100-8t Firmware
6 Configure VLAN Name TLV advertisement for each port to which a ReachNXT 100-8t is connected.
(LLDP should already be enabled.) For example:
# configure lldp port 25 advertise vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name vlan ReachMgmt
ReachNXT 100-8t and Upgrade Server on Different VLANs
If the ReachNXT 100-8t and the upgrade server are on different VLANs, do the following to create and
configure two VLANs for the upgrade.
1 Create a VLAN for the ReachNXT 100-8t and name the VLAN ReachMgmt. For example:
# create vlan ReachMgmt
NOTE
The upgrade VLAN must be named ReachMgmt.
2 Assign a VLAN tag. This VLAN tag will be used for the upgrade. For example:
# configure vlan ReachMgmt tag 20
3 Add the port(s) to which ReachNXT 100-8t units are connected. These ports must be added as
tagged ports. For example:
# configure vlan ReachMgmt add ports 25 tagged
4 Configure an IP address for the ReachNXT 100-8t VLAN. For example:
# configure vlan ReachMgmt ipaddress 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0
5 Enable IP forwarding for the ReachNXT 100-8t VLAN. For example:
# enable ipforwarding vlan ReachMgmt
6 Create a VLAN for access to the DHCP/BootP and TFTP servers. For example:
# create vlan server_vlan
7 Add one or more ports to which the servers are connected. These ports can be tagged or untagged,
depending on the server's capability. For example:
# configure vlan default delete ports 26
# configure vlan server_vlan add ports 26 untagged
8 Configure an IP address for the upgrade VLAN. For example:
# configure vlan server_vlan ipaddress 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
# enable ipforwarding vlan server_vlan
9 Enable the BootP Relay function and add the DHCP/BootP server IP address. For example:
# configure bootprelay add 10.10.10.2 vr VR-Default
# enable bootprelay vr VR-Default
10 Set a proxy ARP entry for the TFTP server. (The ReachNXT 100-8t does not have a gateway route
and does not support the DHCP router option.) For example:
# configure iparp add proxy 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.255 vr VR-Default
11 Configure VLAN Name TLV advertisement for the port(s) to which the ReachNXT 100-8t units are
connected. (LLDP should already be enabled.) For example:
# configure lldp port 25 advertise vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name vlan ReachMgmt
20
