3COM OS SW8800 V3.01.32rc13 Release Notes
April 25, 2013 Page 39 of 56
SW8800 series routing switches software is originally upgraded through serial port. However, this
mode is slow and time-consuming, it needs to be on site, and only one device at a time. To facilitate
software upgrading, SW800 series routing switches introduce FTP module to implement fast and
flexible software upgrade and file download. The version offers a simpler upgrade way. Users can
upgrade a switch by using command line and rebooting the switch.
Please confirm the current version number before upgrading. If the version number of BootROM is
100 or lower, remote online upgrading is not supported. You have to perform local upgrading
according to the local upgrading procedure.
Remote Upgrading
Download program files
There are two methods to download program files: use the switch as a FTP server or client
Using the switch as a FTP Server

Assuming that the host program file for upgrade is 88h03_01_32rc13.app; BootROM program files for
upgrade include LSBSRP1N01303.APP for MPU, LSBLMCUA01304.APP for LPU and

switch through FTP from the local computer and put the program files to the switch. FTP uses the IP
