For more information about using the CLI, see the Command Reference guide
for your switch.
Updating firmware
If firmware updates are available, you can download them from
http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/. The switch might have features that are not
described in the documentation that comes with the switch, and the documentation
might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or
technical updates might be available to provide additional information that is not
included in the switch documentation.
Configuration settings are lost during a firmware update. Before updating the
firmware, save a copy of the configuration on a separate device. In the event of a
failed update, the saved configuration can be restored. For more information about
the configuration file, see the
Application Guide and Command Reference for the
switch.
Attention: Installing the wrong firmware update might cause the network switch to
malfunction. Before you install a firmware, read any readme and change history
files that are provided with the downloaded update. These files contain important
information about the update and the procedure for installing the update, including
any special procedure for updating from an early firmware version to the latest
version.
To check for firmware updates, go to http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/ and click
Downloads .
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. Procedures for locating
firmware might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
