Upgrade Overview

Administrators must have access to the CLI via telnet, SSH or the serial port to perform the upgrade procedure.

Upgrade Procedure for Dell Networking N2000/N3000 Series Switches

The upgrade procedure given below upgrades an individual switch or a stack of switches running firmware version

6.x.x.x. This is a normal operation of the upgrade procedure.

Please do not interrupt switch operation during the

upgrade process as this may result in corruption of flash memory. Do not power off a switch undergoing the

upgrade process unless specifically directed to do so by the instructions.

To upgrade a switch running a 6.x.x.x version of firmware to the 6.0.1.3 version of firmware or later, uses the

procedure below. An annotated upgrade example is shown following this section.

1. Back up your configuration.

2. If using telnet or ssh to perform the upgrade procedure and if the current configuration does not contain a

non-default enable authentication method or enable password, configure an enable password and save the

configuration. Example steps to configure an enable password are shown below:

console#configure

console(config)#enable password <password>

console(config)#exit

console#copy running-config startup-config

3. Download the 6.0.1.3 firmware image (N3000_N2000v6.0.1.3.stk) to the switch or stack master.

NOTE: Activate the image to use as the boot (active) image after the switch

resets. Images on the N2000/N3000 series switches are named active and backup.

4. Activate 6.0.1.3 firmware.

NOTE: Boot Code and CPLD Update is required for Dell Networking N2000 and

N3000 Series Switches after reloading the switch with firmware version

6.0.1.3 as active image

5. Reload the switch.

6. Update boot code.

7. Reload the switch again for boot code to take effect.

NOTE: A TFTP server must be on the network and the switch software

must be accessible to the TFTP server before attempting to download

the switch software by TFTP.

NOTE: The following TFTP server may be used if you do not have

one: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
