The software download occurs automatically after you click Submit. This
process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it with the new
software image. Do not interrupt the download. Depending on network
conditions, this process can take up to 10 minutes. When the download
is complete, the switch automatically resets and the new software image
initiates a self-test. During the download, the switch is not operational.
LED activity during software download
During the software download, the port LEDs light one after another in a
chasing pattern, except for ports 35, 36, 47, and 48 on a Nortel Ethernet
Routing Switch 4500 Series 4548GT.
This chasing pattern is initially fast as the software image is downloaded but
gradually slows as the switch erases the flash memory. This pattern speeds
up again as the switch programs the new image into the flash memory.
When the process is complete, the port LEDs are no longer lit and the
switch resets.
Setting TFTP parameters
Many processes in the switch can use a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
server. The following sections describe how to set a default TFTP server for
the switch and how to clear these defaults through the CLI:
•
"Setting a default TFTP server" (page 89)
•
"Displaying the default TFTP server" (page 90)
•
"Clearing the default TFTP server" (page 90)
Setting a default TFTP server
The switch processes that use a TFTP server often give the switch
administrator the option to specify the IP address of a TFTP server to use.
Instead of entering this address every time, the switch can store a default
IP address.
