Cisco Cisco Fiber IGESM Switch Module for IBM Release Notes

Follow these steps to upgrade the switch software by using the CLI:

If your PC or workstation cannot act as a TFTP server, copy the file to a TFTP server to which you have 
access.

Access the CLI by starting a Telnet session or by connecting to the switch service port. 

To start a Telnet session on your PC or workstation, enter this command:

server% telnet switch_ip_address

Enter the Telnet username and password if you are prompted to do so.

Enter privileged EXEC mode:

switch> enable

switch#

Enter the password if you are prompted to do so.

Display the name of the running (default) image file (BOOT path-list). This example shows the name in 
italic:

switch# show boot

BOOT path-list:    flash:current_image

Config file:       flash:config.text

Enable Break:      1

Manual Boot:       no

HELPER path-list: 

NVRAM/Config file

buffer size: 32768

If there is no software image defined in the BOOT path-list, enter dir flash: to display the contents of 
flash memory. 

Enter the archive download-sw /reload command. 

Press Return to confirm the reload. 

Your Telnet session ends when the switch resets. 

After the switch reboots, use Telnet to return to the switch, and enter the show version user EXEC 
command to verify the upgrade procedure. If you have a previously opened browser session to the 
upgraded switch, close the browser, and start it again to ensure that you are using the latest HTML files.

If the software fails, you can reload the software. For detailed recovery procedures, see the 
“Troubleshooting” chapter in the software configuration guide for your switch.
