Example—Updating the Switch Software
Caution It is recommended that you back up the image file before updating it. See “Backup Manager” on page 10-
1 for instructions.
Follow these instructions to update the switch software (that is, a firmware code image):
1. In the Update Method field, select the protocol to use to upload the file to the system. If the file is
located on a local or network drive, select HTTP. If the file is located on a TFTP server, select TFTP.
2. If TFTP is selected, specify the IP address of the TFTP server, the path to the file, and the name of
the file as it appears on the server.
If HTTP is selected, browse to locate the file on your network or local drive.
3. In the Update Type field, select Code.
4. In the Image field, choose Backup or Active.
If you choose Backup, the inactive (backup) image file will be updated. In the example in Figure 10-
6 on page 10-4, the Backup image file is selected for update.
If you choose Active, the active image file will be updated.
5. Click Download.
A warning message is displayed (the text may differ depending on the protocol selected).
