Upgrading The Switch Software Image; Upgrading The Pos Module Software Image - Extreme Networks PoS Installation And User Manual

Installing or Replacing a PoS Module

Upgrading the Switch Software Image

If the STATUS LED on the PoS module turns amber and blinks, use the
command to display the configured slot type. The output from this command also
displays information about the module state, including the CARD UNKNOWN
message. This message indicates that the installed ExtremeWare software image version
does not recognize the module type.
To correct this problem, you will need to upgrade the ExtremeWare software image. To
perform this task, see the "Software Upgrade and Boot Options" chapter in the
ExtremeWare Software User Guide.

Upgrading the PoS Module Software Image

The PoS module software image file contains the executable code that runs on the PoS
module. The image file is preinstalled on the PoS module at the factory. As new
versions of the image are released, they can be downloaded to the PoS module.
When you upgrade the PoS module software image, you might also be required
to upgrade the image for associated MSM modules to maintain software
compatibility.
To download a PoS software image, use the following command:
download image [<ipaddress> | <hostname>] <filename> {primary | secondary}
slot <slot>
This command is the same command used to download ExtremeWare images to MSM
modules, but you use the
the PoS module in the specified slot rather than to one of the switch's image partitions.
Like the MSM module, the PoS module can store up to two images: a primary and a
secondary image. When you download a new image, you must specify the image
space—primary or secondary—where the new image is to be stored. If you do not
specify the image space, the new image is downloaded to the image space that will be
used as the load source on the next reboot.
To select which image—primary or secondary—the PoS module will load on the next
reboot, use the following command:
use image [primary | secondary] slot <slot>
2-14
option to download the specified image file to
slot <slot>
show slot
