To recover from an Update failure:
If after an update, the switch does not boot into the new firmware version, you can use the following steps
to revert to the previous firmware version.
1. Connect a serial cable to the 10101 port on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Run a terminal program on the PC connected to the 10101 port. The serial port settings should
be: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control.
3. Turn on the switch.
4. In the terminal program, when the prompt "Hit any key to stop autoboot" appears, press any
key. A menu is displayed.
5. Enter 1 (Boot Alternate) and press Enter. The switch will automatically reboot to the previous
firmware version.
6. After the switch reboots, attempt the upgrade.
