Figure 4-2 Typical topology for switch upgrade in BootROM mode
The upgrade procedures are listed below:
Step 1:
As shown in the figure, a PC is used as the console for the switch. A console cable is used to
connect PC to the management port on the switch. The PC should have FTP/TFTP server
software installed and has the image file required for the upgrade.
Step 2:
Press "ctrl+b" on switch boot up until the switch enters BootROM monitor mode. The operation
result is shown below:
[Boot]:
Step 3:
Under BootROM mode, run "setconfig" to set the IP address and mask of the switch under
BootROM mode, server IP address and mask, and select TFTP or FTP upgrade. Suppose the
switch address is 192.168.1.2, and PC address is 192.168.1.66, and select TFTP upgrade, the
configuration should like:
[Boot]: setconfig
Host IP Address: [10.1.1.1] 192.168.1.2
Server IP Address: [10.1.1.2] 192.168.1.66
FTP(1) or TFTP(2): [1] 2
Network interface configure OK.
[Boot]
Step 4:
Enable FTP/TFTP server in the PC. For TFTP, run TFTP server program; for FTP, run FTP
server program. Before start downloading upgrade file to the switch, verify the connectivity
between the server and the switch by ping from the server. If ping succeeds, run "load"
command in the BootROM mode from the switch; if it fails, perform troubleshooting to find out
the cause. The following is the configuration for the system update image file.
[Boot]: load nos.img
Loading...
Loading file ok!
