Upgrading software

Using (FTP)

The Switch 8800 Family applications can also be updated through the Ethernet
port using FTP.

This procedure uses a Switch 8814 work as the FTP client.

1 Connect the switch to the PC containing the file using the management/upgrade

Ethernet port. (You need the IP address of the PC.) Connect the switch to an
external PC (that can be the same one that contains the file) through the console
port.

2 Run the FTP server on the PC connected to the management/upgrade Ethernet

port. Specify the path to the upgrade file and set the login username and
password.

3 Run the terminal emulation program on the PC connected to the Console port,

and boot the Switch to access the Boot menu.

4 See the corresponding steps (4 through 8) in the upgrading procedure using TFTP

above.

If you want to download files using FTP, please set the flags to 0x0 when setting
the Ethernet interface parameters.

5 After downloading the host program through the Boot menu, you must specify it

as the next boot program. In the following example, the host program is Switch
8800 Family-Comware 310-R1212.app.
