Upgrading Software And Firmware Using Ftp/Tftp - Avaya G250 Administration

Basic device configuration
Changing the default bank
By default, when you turn on or reset the G250/G350, the G250/G350 loads firmware from
Bank B. To change the default bank from which firmware is loaded during startup, use the set
boot bank command. For example, to configure the G250/G350 to load firmware from Bank A
on startup, type set boot bank bank-A. Now, when you reset the G250/G350, it will load
firmware from Bank A.
To display the bank from which the G250/G350 is currently set to load its firmware upon startup
or reset, use the show boot bank command.
Loading firmware from the non-default bank
You can use the ASB button on the G250/G350 front panel to load firmware from the bank other
than the default bank during startup:
1. Press and hold the reset button.
2. Press and hold the ASB button.
3. Release the reset button.
4. Release the ASB button.
For example, if the G250/G350 is configured to load firmware from Bank B, use the steps listed
above to reset the G250/G350 to load the firmware from Bank A instead.

Upgrading software and firmware using FTP/TFTP

To upgrade software or firmware, you must obtain an upgrade file from Avaya. Place the file on
your FTP or TFTP server. Then, use one of the following commands to upload the file to the
G250/G350. For each of these commands, include the full path of the file and the IP address of
the FTP or TFTP host as parameters. When you enter the command, the CLI prompts you for a
username and password.
Note:
In addition to using the CLI to upgrade software and firmware, you can use the
