2.2 Upgrading the Switch Firmware to 2.0

The WS5000 Series Switch release 2.0 enables you to upgrade to the 2.0 baseline from the platforms:
• WS5000 or 5100 running the 1.4/1.4.1.0/1.4.1.1/1.4.2 baseline.
• WS5000 or 5100 running 1.1v49.
You can upgrade the switch using one of the following methods:
• Upgrading Using the CLI on page 2-3
• Upgrading Using Autoinstall on page 2-7
Note There are certain key combinations that might stop the Lynx Boot Loader (in
1.4.x.x and 1.1v49 baseline) so that it accepts user inputs. To avoid this, do no press
any key and do not enable the scroll lock on the serial console window when the
upgrade or downgrade is in progress.

2.2.1 Upgrading Using the CLI

Use either ssh, telnet or a serial access cable to log into the CLI.
The WS5000 Series Switch software package contains:
• PreUpgradeScript
• WS5000_v2.0.0.0-xxxx.sys.kdi — The image needed for the upgrade.
To upgrade to 2.0 using the CLI, use the following steps:
1. Running the PreUpgradeScript.
2. Upgrading the Switch.
Note You must run the PreUpgradeScript before you upgrade the switch.

2.2.1.1 Running the PreUpgradeScript

PreUgradeScript. If the switch has the memory, the script tells you how to upgrade. If the switch does not have
