Figure 2.1: Typical topology for switch upgrade in BootROM mode
[Boot]:
Step 3:
Under BootROM mode, run 'setconfig' to set the IP address and mask of the switch under
BootROM mode and server IP address. Suppose the switch address is 192.168.1.2, and PC
address is 192.168.1.66, and the configuration should like:
[Boot]: setconfig
Host IP Address: [10.1.1.1] 192.168.1.2
Server IP Address: [10.1.1.2] 192.168.1.66
[Boot]:
Step 4:
Enable TFTP server in the PC. Run TFTP server program. Before start downloading upgrade
file to the switch, verify the connectivity between the server and the switch by ping from the switch.
If ping succeeds, run 'load' command in the BootROM mode from the switch; if it fails, perform
troubleshooting to find out the cause.
The following update file boot.rom.
[Boot]: load boot.rom
Using switch device
TFTP from server 192.168.1.66; our IP address is 192.168.1.2
Filename 'boot.rom'.
Load address: 0x82000000
Loading: #################################################################

Step 5:
Execute write boot.rom in BootROM mode. The following saves the update file.
[Boot]: write boot.rom
File exists, overwrite? (Y/N)[N] y
Writing flash:/boot.rom......
Write flash:/boot.rom OK.
