Management and Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15
Continue reboot of system? : No
Press the space bar once to change No to Yes, then press [Enter] to begin the reboot.
NOTE: When you use the menu interface to download a switch software, the new image is
always stored in primary flash. Also, using the Reboot Switch command in the Main Menu
always reboots the switch from primary flash. Rebooting the switch from the CLI provides more
options. See the Basic Operation Guide.
8. After you reboot the switch, confirm that the software downloaded correctly:
a. From the Main Menu, select
2. Switch Configuration...
2. Port/Trunk Settings
b. Check the Firmware revision line.
Enabling SCP and SFTP
1. Open an SSH session as you normally would to establish a secure encrypted tunnel between
your computer and the switch. Please note that this is a one-time procedure for new switches
or connections. If you have already done it once you should not need to do it a second time.
For more detailed directions on how to open an SSH session, see the Access Security Guide.
2. To enable secure file transfer on the switch (once you have an SSH session established between
the switch and your computer), open a terminal window and enter the following command:
HP Switch(config)# ip ssh filetransfer
Downloading software via a Xmodem
This procedure assumes that:
• The switch is connected via the Console RS-232 port to a PC operating as a terminal. (For
information on connecting a PC as a terminal and running the switch console interface, see
the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the switch.)
• The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC.
• The terminal emulator you are using includes the Xmodem binary transfer feature. (For example,
in the HyperTerminal application included with Windows NT, you would use the Send File
option in the Transfer drop-down menu.)
Downloading to Flash using Xmodem and terminal emulator
Syntax
copy xmodem flash [ primary | secondary ]
Downloads a software file to primary or secondary flash. If you do not specify the flash destination,
the Xmodem download defaults to primary flash.
Example
To download a switch software file named E0822.swi from a PC (running a terminal emulator
program such as HyperTerminal) to primary flash:
1. Execute the following command in the CLI:
