2) Specify the Boot ROM software used at next-startup.
<QX> bootrom update file SWITCH.app slot 1
<QX> reboot
Before restarting the switch, make sure other configurations are all saved to avoid the loss
of configuration information.
Therefore specification of the software used at next-startup is completed. To confirm the
upgrade of Boot ROM software, restart the switch. After a load of Boot Rom software has
been completed when space of a flash memory isn't enough, it's possible to delete several
files in the flash memory. It's recommended to delete the Boot ROM software which isn't
used. Upload Boot ROM software using a FTP. Power interruption is not allowed during
software loading.
6.5.2 Upgrade of software by TFTP
The remote loading by using TFTP is similar to the remote loading by using FTP. The only
difference is that it is TFTP that you use when loading Boot ROM software to the switch. In
this case, the switch can only be used as a TFTP client. The remaining step after download
is just same as the occasion of the remote load with a FTP.
6.6 Software upgrade at the time of IRF stack
When upgrading software of the switch in IRF stack fabric, make sure that it'll be the same
version by all member switches.
6.6.1 Upgrade of software by FTP
Carry out the FTP server as which the user name, a password and a file directory are set
right on the local end. An IP address of a terminal is 10.10.110.1. Log on to the switch via
Telnet and send a host program to the switch using a FTP. Send IRF stack to all member
switches.
The software program is made SWITCH.app. After logging on to the switch using Telnet,
follow the next procedure.
1) Download the software to the switch using FTP. After downloading it in Master, copy a
file in all member switches using the copy command.
