● Upgrading a Modular Software Package
Guidelines for Activating SSL
Whether you are currently running SSH or downloading the SSH software module for the first time,
you must complete the following steps to activate the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) functionality that is
packaged with the SSH module. Before you can configure SSL on the switch, do the following:
● Download and install the SSH software module on the active partition
● Activate the SSH software module
● Gracefully terminate and re-start the thttpd process running on the switch
The following is an example of activating SSL on the switch:
download image 10.10.10.2 bd10K-11.2.0.18-ssh.xmod
run update
restart process thttpd
For more information about SSH and SSL, see Chapter 16, “Security.”
Upgrading a Modular Software Package
When Extreme Networks introduces a new core software image, a new modular software package is
also available. If you have a software module installed and upgrade to a new core image, you need to
upgrade to the corresponding modular software package.
Two methods are available to upgrade an existing modular software package on your switch.
Regardless of which method you choose, you must terminate and restart the processes associated with
the software module.
Method One.
1 Terminate the processes associated with the software module using the following command:
terminate process <name> [forceful | graceful] {msm <slot>}
2 Download the software module from your TFTP server or external compact flash memory card using
the following command:
download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard
<filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}
3 Activate the installed modular package, if installed on the active partition, using the following
command:
run update
4 Restart the processes associated with the software module using the following command:
start process <name> {msm <slot>}
