Upgrading with a TFTP Server
============================

1	Copy the switch firmware file to the TFTP server.

2	Select option 'S' from the Firmware Configuration menu and
        enter the IP address of the server where the switch upgrade
        file is located.

3	Select option 'F' from the Firmware Configuration menu and
        enter the name of the firmware-upgrade file.

4       Select 'T' from the Firmware Configuration menu to initiate
        the upgrade.

5	Verify the upgrade is in progress by checking the Upgrade status
        section of the Firmware Configuration Menu. If the upgrade is
	in progress, the field reads "in-progress"

6	When the transfer is complete, the switch resets automatically
        and executes the newly downloaded firmware.

Caution During the transfer of the upgrade file, the switch might not
        respond to commands for as long as 1 minute.  This is normal
        and correct.  If you interrupt the transfer by turning the
        switch off and on, the firmware could be corrupted.  If this
        happens, follow the procedure described in "Using the
        Diagnostic Console" in the chapter "Troubleshooting" of
        the Installation and Configuration guide to restart the
        firmware.

Upgrading with a TFTP Client
============================

1	Copy the switch firmware file to the TFTP client workstation.

2	On the TFTP client workstation, establish a TFTP session using
	the IP address assigned to the switch.

3	Ensure that the TFTP client is in binary transfer mode.

4	At the command line, enter "put" and the filename.

5	Verify the upgrade is in progress by checking the upgrade status
        section of the Firmware Configuration Menu.
	If the upgrade is in progress, the field reads "in-progress".

6	When the transfer is complete, the switch resets automatically
        and executes the newly downloaded firmware.

Caution During the transfer of the upgrade file, the switch might not
        respond to commands for as long as 1 minute.  This is normal
        and correct.  If you interrupt the transfer by turning the
        switch off and on, the firmware could be corrupted.  If this
        happens, follow the procedure described in "Using the
        Diagnostic Console" in the chapter "Troubleshooting" of
        the Installation and Configuration guide to restart the
        firmware.

Upgrading with XMODEM
=====================

1	Copy the switch firmware file to the system running the XMODEM application.

2	Select option 'U' from the Firmware Configuration menu to initiate the
        XMODEM download.

3	When the first XMODEM request appears, use the appropriate command
	to start the transfer from the application supporting XMODEM transfer.

4	When the transfer is completed, the switch resets automatically
        and executes the newly downloaded firmware.

Caution During the transfer of the upgrade file, the switch might not
        respond to commands for as long as 1 minute.  This is normal
        and correct.  If you interrupt the transfer by turning the
        switch off and on, the firmware could be corrupted.  If this
        happens, follow the procedure described in "Using the
        Diagnostic Console" in the chapter "Troubleshooting" of
        the Installation and Configuration guide to restart the
        firmware.
