Getting Started with the Graphical User Interface (GUI) 39
Software Release 2.6.1
C613-02025-00 REV C
If you have multiple valid resource files and releases stored on the switch, use the SET
INSTALL command to change the release and resource file the switch uses (see below).
2. Load the new file onto the switch
Download the GUI resource file for your model of switch from the website
to your TFTP server. Do not rename the file.
Resource files use a fixed naming convention, which includes a product code, a language
code and a version code. For example, filenames for the Rapier 24i are of the form
dr24ie01.rsc. If you change the GUI resource file’s name, the switch will not recognise
it as a valid file and you will be unable to use it for configuration.
Load the GUI resource file from your TFTP server to the switch, using the
command:
LOAD FILE=filename.rsc SERVER=server
where:
• filename is the name of the GUI resource file, as shown on the support
site for your switch. Do not rename the file.
• server is the IP address of the TFTP server the file is loaded from.
When the switch has loaded the file into its RAM, it displays the message
“File transfer successfully completed”. It then writes the file to FLASH
memory, which takes approximately 30 seconds after the message. Once
the file has been copied to FLASH, you can enter commands that refer to it.
3. Install the new file as the preferred GUI
If you are updating both the release and the resource file, set the preferred
release and restart the switch before installing the GUI as described below.
To set the new GUI resource file as the preferred resource file, use the
command:
SET INSTALL=preferred GUI=filename.rsc
You can use the GUI to load the new resource file onto the switch
(Management > Software > Upgrade), but you need to use the CLI to
install the new file.
If you disabled the GUI to delete the old resource file, enable it again, using
the command:
ENABLE GUI
Check that the new GUI resource file is valid for your device, using the
command:
SHOW GUI
If it is not, or if the file was corrupted during the download, disable the
GUI, delete the file and try again.
4. Point your web browser at the switch’s IP address
Your browser may have a local copy of the old GUI file stored. If so, you
need to delete these temporary files (see “Deleting Temporary Files” on
page 40).
