Upgrading Software and Firmware
3.1 Upgrading FORE Stack View
FORE Stack View (FSV) version 2.0.5 or greater supports the ATM Module. You
can obtain the FORE Stack View upgrade file via FORE Systems’ TACtics Online
or from the CD that was shipped with your ATM Module. Normally, the Setup
program for FSV will start automatically after you insert the CD in your CD ROM
drive. However, if it does not, use the standard Windows procedures for installing
programs.
The earlier FSV version must be removed in order to install the newer version. If
the setup program detects an older version of FSV on your computer, you are
prompted to automatically uninstall the older version. The uninstall program will
remove all components of the older FSV version from your computer and then in-
stall the newer version.
NOTE
For detailed information about FORE Stack
View, see the ES-2810 Ethernet Switch User’s
Manual or the FORE Stack View online help.
3.2 Upgrading Switch Firmware
Switch firmware version 2.5 or greater supports the ATM Module. Switch firm-
ware can be upgraded using one of the following methods:
• via FORE Stack View (recommended method)
• via Local Management (TFTP from the ES-2810 serial console)
• via Maintenance Mode
NOTE
Switches in a stack configuration should be
upgraded in descending order (i.e. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
from top to bottom), otherwise the stack
must be rebooted after switch #1 is upgraded.
NOTE
For first time upgrades to version 2.5, you
must use the initial upgrade procedures
outlined in the ES-2810 ATM Uplink Module
Release Notes.
