The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of FTP and TFTP.

General restrictions and guidelines

When you upgrade software, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

· Make sure the switch has sufficient storage space for the upgrade file. If the switch does not have sufficient storage space, delete unused files by using the delete /unreserved file-url command.

· Save the configuration before the upgrade for the configuration to survive a reboot.

· Make sure the FTP or TFTP username, password, and file name are the same on the host the switch.

Example: Using the switch as a TFTP client to upgrade software

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, use TFTP to download a software upgrade file from a TFTP server to upgrade the switch.

Restrictions and guidelines

Make sure the TFTP server is enabled on the file server.

Copy the upgrade file to the file server, and set a correct working directory on the file server.

Procedures

1. Configure the host:

# Use a console cable to connect console port 1 on the device to the configuration terminal. (Details not shown.)

# To access the device through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator program (HyperTerminal, PuTTY, or Tera Term) on the host. For information about using a terminal emulator program, see the program's user guide.

The following are the required terminal settings:

¡ Baud rate—9600.

¡ Data bits—8.

¡ Stop bits—1.

¡ Parity—none.

¡ Flow control—none.

2. Configure the TFTP server:

# Assign IP address 192.168.100.14/24 to the TFTP server. (Details not shown.)

# Start the TFTP server and specify a working directory.

3. Upgrade the device:

a. Upgrade the standby MPU:

# Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the management Ethernet interface (M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0) on the standby MPU to the TFTP server.

# Disable the system to examine the standby MPU's startup software images for version inconsistency with the active MPU's current software images when the standby MPU starts up.
