You also can use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of

other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

Deciding Which Files to Use

The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using

a tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file and the files needed for the embedded

device manager. You must use the tar file to upgrade the switch through the device manager.

To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the

archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.

Here are the filenames for this software release:

•

cgesm-i6k91l2-tar.122-25.SE1.tar

cgesm-i6l2-tar.122-25.SE1.tar

Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager

You can upgrade switch software by using the device manager. From the feature bar, choose

Administration > Software Upgrade. For detailed instructions, click Help.

NOTE: When using the device manager to upgrade your switch, do not use or close your browser

session after the upgrade process begins. Wait until after the upgrade process completes.

Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI

This procedure is for copying the tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a

TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the

current image. The archive download-sw privileged EXEC command both downloads and

extracts the files.

To download software, follow these steps:

1. To download the software image file go to:

http://www.hp.com/support

To download the image for a CGESM switch, click CGESM software. To obtain

authorization and to download the cryptographic software files, click CGESM 3DES

Cryptographic Software.

2. Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that

the TFTP server is properly configured.

For more information, refer to Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this

release.

3. Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
