HP 11900 Switch Series - HP 11900-CMW710-R2105 Release Notes

Upgrading Comware software from the BootWare

Upgrade Comware software by using one of the following methods:

 Using TFTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port

 Using FTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port

 Using Xmodem to upgrade through the console port

For more information about BootWare, see "Using BootWare menus."

NOTE:

 The switch does not come with FTP or TFTP software. Prepare the software yourself.

 Upgrading through an Ethernet port is faster than through the console port.

Using TFTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port

1. Connect the management Ethernet port of the switch to the PC that stores the source .ipe file, and

connect the console port of the switch to the configuration terminal.

The configuration terminal can be co-located with the TFTP server.

2. Run the TFTP server program on the PC connected to the management Ethernet port, and specify

the file storage directory.

3. Run the terminal emulation program on the PC connected to the console port.

4. Start the switch and access the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu (for more information, see "Using

BootWare menus").

5. Enter 3 in the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu to access the Ethernet submenu.
