Updating the Switch Software Image
The switch software image is the executable code running on the
GbE Switch Module
. A version
of the image ships with the switch, and comes pre-installed on the device. As new versions of
the image are released, you can upgrade the software running on your switch. To get the latest
version of software available for your GbE Switch Module, go to:
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support
Click on
software updates
. Use the
/boot/cur
command to determine the current
software version.
The typical upgrade process for the software image consists of the following steps:
Place the new image onto a FTP or TFTP server on your network, or on a local computer.
Transfer the new image to your switch.
Select the new software image to be loaded into switch memory the next time the switch is
reset.
Loading New Software to Your Switch
The switch can store up to two different software images, called
image1
and
image2
, as
well as boot software, called
boot
. When you load new software, you must specify where it
should be placed: either into
image1
,
image2
, or
boot
.
For example, if your active image is currently loaded into
image1
, you would probably load
the new image software into
image2
. This lets you test the new software and reload the origi-
nal active image (stored in
image1
), if needed.
Using the BBI
You can use the Browser-Based Interface to load software onto the GbESM. The software
image to load can reside in one of the following locations:
FTP server
TFTP server
Local computer
After you log onto the BBI, perform the following steps to load a software image:
1.
Click the Configure context button in the toolbar.
2.
In the Navigation Window, select
System > Config/Image Control
.
