Upgrading the Firmware—Aspen 8810 Switch Only
Firmware images are bundled with ExtremeWare XOS software images. ExtremeWare XOS
automatically compares the existing firmware image flashed into the hardware with the firmware image
bundled with the ExtremeWare XOS image when you:
●
Download a new version of ExtremeWare XOS to the active partition.
●
Install a new module into an active chassis.
After a firmware image upgrade, messages are sent to the log.
You can configure the switch to automatically upgrade the firmware when a different image is detected,
or you can have the switch prompt you to confirm the upgrade process. To configure the switch’s
behavior during a firmware upgrade, use the following command:
configure firmware installation [auto-install | install-on-demand]
Where the following is true:
●
auto-install
—Specifies ExtremeWare XOS to automatically upgrade the firmware if the software
detects a newer firmware image is available. The switch does not prompt you to confirm the
firmware upgrade.
●
on-demand
—Specifies the switch to prompt you to upgrade the firmware when ExtremeWare XOS
determines that a newer firmware image is available. This is the default behavior.
If you decide to install the firmware at a later time, use the following command:
install firmware {force}
During the firmware upgrade, do not cycle down or disrupt the power to the switch. If a power
interruption occurs, the firmware may be corrupted and need to be recovered. ExtremeWare XOS
automatically attempts to recover corrupted firmware; however, in some situations user intervention is
required.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) firmware is always automatically upgraded or downgraded to match the
operational ExtremeWare XOS code image. This configuration is not applicable to PoE firmware.
