II. Upgrading using TFTP
Upgrading using TFTP is similar to upgrading using FTP, except that the protocol used
for downloading software to the switch is TFTP. In this case, the switch can only
function as a TFTP client to download software from the TFTP server to its Flash. After
the downloading is completed, the remaining procedure is the same as that in the case
of upgrading using FTP.
6.4.2 Upgrading Through the Boot Menu
You can upgrade software on the active and standby SRPUs through the boot menu in
the same way. Pay attention that:
z
Two HyperTerminals are recommended to connect the console ports of the active
and standby SRPUs, respectively. Upgrade the Boot ROM and host software of
the active and standby SRPUs at the same time. After upgrading, reboot the
system or reboot the active SRPU and the standby SRPU respectively.
z
If only one HyperTerminal is used, first upgrade the Boot ROM program and host
software on the active SRPU. Then connect the HyperTerminal to the console port
of the standby SRPU for software upgrade. Finally, reboot the system.
