The host software package on the active SRPU can be used to upgrade Boot ROM on both the active 

SRPU and the LPU. The Boot ROM of the standby SRPU can be upgraded through the host software 

package on the standby SRPU only.

Upgrading using TFTP is similar to upgrading using FTP, except that the protocol used for downloading 

software to the switch is TFTP. In this case, the switch can only function as a TFTP client to download 

software from the TFTP server to its Flash. After the downloading is completed, the remaining 

procedure is the same as that in the case of upgrading using FTP. 

You can upgrade software on the active and standby SRPUs through the boot menu in the same way. 

Pay attention that: 

z 

Two HyperTerminals are recommended to connect the console ports of the active and standby 

SRPUs, respectively. Upgrade the Boot ROM and host software of the active and standby SRPUs 

at the same time. After upgrading, reboot the system or reboot the active SRPU and the standby 

SRPU respectively. 

z 

If only one HyperTerminal is used, first upgrade the Boot ROM program and host software on the 

active SRPU. Then connect the HyperTerminal to the console port of the standby SRPU for 

software upgrade. Finally, reboot the system. 

z 

After the system is rebooted, upgrade the Boot ROM program on the LPU through command lines. 

For the command lines, refer to section”
