Upgrading software
After you install your Edge Layer 3 EEPROM, you will need to upgrade your software to version
07.0.01. Use the following procedures to upgrade the software, and refer to the 07.0.01 release
notes for more information, if necessary.
If you are running software versions earlier than 04.2.00 (for example, 04.1.00, 04.1.01...), you
must first upgrade to release 04.2.00 or later (e.g., 04.2.01) non-stacking software before
upgrading to 07.0.01.
Upgrading the boot code
1. Place the new boot code on a TFTP server to which the Brocade device has access.
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: FGS648
Switch#) to copy the boot code from the TFTP server into flash memory:
• copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> bootrom
3. Verify that the code has been successfully copied by entering the following command at any
level of the CLI:
• show flash
The output will display the compressed boot ROM code size and the boot code version.
4. Upgrade the flash code as instructed in the following section.
Upgrading the flash code
1. Place the new flash code on a TFTP server to which the Brocade device has access.
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: FastIron
#) to
copy the flash code from the TFTP server into the flash memory:
• copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> primary | secondary
3. Verify that the flash code has been successfully copied using the following command at any
level of the CLI:
• show flash
4. If the flash code version is correct, go to step 5. Otherwise, go to step 1.
5. Reload the switch by entering one of the following commands:
• reload (this command boots from the default boot source, which is the primary flash area
by default)
boot system flash primary | secondary
