Upgrading a Switch Stack

To upgrade all switches in a stack with the same FTOS version, follow these steps:
Step Task
1 Copy the new FTOS image to a network server.
2 Download the FTOS image by accessing an
interactive CLI that requests the server IP address
and image filename, and prompts you to upgrade
all member stack units. Specify the system partition
on the master switch into which you want to copy
the FTOS image; valid values are a: and b:.
Figure 31-21
As shown in
prompts you to upgrade all member units with the
new FTOS version.
3 Reboot all stack units to load the FTOS image from
the same partition on all switches in the stack.
4 Save the configuration.
5 Reload the stack unit to activate the new FTOS
version.
Figure 31-21 shows an example of how to upgrade all switches in a stack, including the master switch.
