Upgrading at the CLI You can remotely download Boot ROM and system software images at the CLI.

Copying files from a USB flash drive Every A5800 or A5820X switch has a USB port on its front panel so you can copy software package files from a USB flash drive.

Follow these steps to copy a software package file from a USB flash drive and upgrade Boot ROM and system software:

Step1 Plug the USB flash drive in the USB port of the switch.

Step2 Copy the software package file (for example, update.bin) to the Flash memory of the switch. <HP> cd flash:

<HP> copy usba:/update.bin update.bin

Step3 Remove the USB flash drive, and load the Boot ROM image. <HP> bootrom update file update.bin slot 1

This command will update bootrom file on the specified board(s), Continue? [Y/

N]:y

Now updating bootrom, please wait...

Step4 Load the system software image and specify the file as the main file at the next reboot. <HP> boot-loader file update.bin slot 1 main

This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y

The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot 1!

<HP> display boot-loader

Slot 1

The current boot app is: flash:/update.bin

The main boot app is: flash:/update.bin

The backup boot app is: flash:/update.bin

<HP> reboot



NOTE: • You must reboot the switch with the reboot command to complete the upgrade.

Before that, save the configurations you have made to avoid data loss. • If Flash memory is insufficient, load the Boot ROM image first and delete useless files to

free up Flash memory before you load the system software image. • Avoid power failure during the loading process.

FTP download from a server This section uses the topology in Figure 14 as an example. Run FTP server on the management PC at 202.10.10.53, create an FTP username admin and password, specify the source file path, telnet to the switch, and get the software package file (for example, update.bin) from the server.
