6.

Close the FTP session.

ftp>quit

7.

Establish communications with the switch using the CLI. Enter one of the 
following on the command line:

telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

or

telnet switchname

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the switch IP address, and switchname is the 
switch name associated with the IP address.

8.

A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login. Enter an account name 
and password. The default account name and password are (admin, 
password).

9.

Open an Admin session to acquire the necessary authority.

cli $>admin start

10.

Display the list of firmware image files on the switch to confirm that the file 
was loaded. Refer to the 

 for more 

information.

cli (admin) $>image list

11.

Unpack the firmware image file to install the new firmware in flash memory.

cli (admin) $>image unpack filename

12.

Reset the switch to activate the new firmware. This will close the Telnet 
session by default.

cli (admin) $>reset

Simply unplugging the switch from the power source does not allow the switch to 
complete executing tasks and could lead to flash memory corruption. For this 
reason, open a Telnet session and use the Shutdown command to initiate an 
orderly shut down, then power down the switch. Refer to the 

.
