222 Summit24e3 Switch Installation and User Guide
Software Upgrade and Boot Options
To download an incremental configuration, use the following command:
download configuration [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {incremental}
Scheduled Incremental Configuration Download
You can schedule the switch to download a partial or incremental configuration on a regular basis. You
could use this feature to update the configuration of the switch regularly from a centrally administered
TFTP server. As part of the scheduled incremental download, you can optionally configuration a backup
TFTP server.
To configure the primary and/or secondary TFTP server and filename, use the following command:
config download server [primary | secondary] [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename>
To enable scheduled incremental downloads, use the following command:
download configuration every <hour (0-23)>
To display scheduled download information, use the following command:
show switch
To cancel scheduled incremental downloads, use the following command:
download configuration cancel
Remember to Save
Regardless of which download option is used, configurations are downloaded into switch runtime
memory, only. The configuration is saved only when the
save
command is issued, or if the
configuration file, itself, contains the
save
command.
If the configuration currently running in the switch does not match the configuration that the switch
used when it originally booted, an asterisk (*) appears before the command line prompt when using the
CLI.
Upgrading and Accessing BootROM
The BootROM of the switch initializes certain important switch variables during the boot process. If
necessary, BootROM can be upgraded, after the switch has booted, using TFTP. In the event the switch
does not boot properly, some boot option functions can be accessed through a special BootROM menu.
Upgrading BootROM
Upgrading BootROM is done using TFTP (from the CLI), after the switch has booted. Upgrade the
BootROM only when asked to do so by an Extreme Networks technical representative. To upgrade the
BootROM, use the following command:
download bootrom [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename>]
