3. Set XMODEM protocol parameter
0. Return to boot menu
Enter your choice(0-3):
Step 2: Enter 3 in the above menu to load the host software by using XModem.
The subsequent steps are the same as those for loading the BootROM, except that the
system gives the prompt for host software loading instead of BootROM loading.
Note:
You can use the xmodem get command to upload files locally to the switch through
Console ports (AUX ports) as follows (assuming that the PC connects to the switch and
logs in to the switch through a Console port):
z Execute the xmodem get command in user view on the device. After you execute
this command successfully, the switch is ready for receiving data.
z Launch HyperTerminal on the PC, specify XModem as the transmission protocol,
and make the transmission settings (that is, baud rate, data bits, parity, etc.) the
same as those of the Console port of the switch.
z Select the files to be uploaded to the switch on the super terminal and then send
them.
