Network Switch lnstallation Guide 53
Appendix
Upgrade the Firmware
The switch rmware is continuously being upgraded to meet more networking demands. It is
recommended to upgrade the rmware to ensure that your switch has the latest rmware for
optimum performance.
Basically, the latest image le is necessary to upgrade the rmware. In some cases, the kernel
version may also have to be upgraded. Check the release notes to determine if the kernel and
uboot versions need to be upgraded.
Upgrade the Firmware Image File
To upgrade the image le, perform the following:
1 Connect the TFTP server to the switch via the management port.
2 Set the service port IP address using the following commands:
a. Connect the console cable to the console port.
b. On a terminal emulation program (such as Teraterm or HyperTerm), set the baud rate to
115200 (115200, n, 8, 1).
c. When prompted for the username and password, input “admin” for the username and leave
the password empty.
d. Set the service port IP address (in the example below, the service port IP address is set to
192.168.2.1):
Congure
Serviceport protocol none
Serviceport ip 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
exit
3 Prepare the TFTP server and save the latest
image le (*.img) in its root directory
(assuming that the IP address is 192.168.2.100).
