1.5 Firmware Update
To update firmware or bootloader, the VX-MD4024 must get the firmware files from an FTP
Server in which the firmware image and checksum file have been put.
Note: it is suggested to set the ‘connection timeout’ of the FTP server no less than 3 minutes
(i.e. 180 seconds), in order to prevent firmware update failure due to FTP timeout for some FTP
servers.
Following paragraph describes the procedures and commands to use when users want to upgrade
the firmware /bootloader by using CLI.
In CLI:
1. Login the CLI interface and check current system firmware partition or bootloader version:
localhost:>show firmware partition
or
localhost:>show bootloader
2. Prepare an FTP server and make sure the needed files are put in it.
3. Make sure that the connection between VX-MD4024 and the FTP server is fine. You can use
‘ping <ip address>’ command to ping the FTP server from CLI, or you can ping the VX-
MD4024 from the FTP server.
3. FTP get firmware image or bootloader and then write to Flash: (see next page)
