Downloading Software to the PowerConnect

5424/5448

NOTE: Software for PowerConnect 5424/5448 is powerconnect_54xx-20046.ros.

NOTE: Boot Code for PowerConnect 5424/5448 is powerconnect_54xx_boot-2000.rfb.

Using TFTP and the CLI to download software and boot code

NOTE: A TFTP server must be on the network and the switch software must be accessible
by the TFTP server before attempting to download the switch software by TFTP.

1. Connect to the serial port (default setting 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no start bits, 1 stop
bits) and enter the CLI mode. The following prompt is displayed:

console>

2. Ensure that an IP address is assigned to at least one port on the switch. Use the
following commands to assign an IP address to vlan 1 (this example uses IP address
10.10.10.101).

console> enable
console# config
console# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.101 /24
console(config-if)# exit
config(config)# exit
config#

3. Enter console#copy tftp://{tftp address}/{file name} image to copy the


software to the switch. The software is copied but does not become active until the file
is selected as the active image file and the switch is reset. The following is an example
of the information that is displayed:

console# copy tftp://10.10.10.202/powerconnect_54xx-20046.ros image

software to the switch. The boot software is copied but does not become active until
the switch is reset. The following is an example of the information that is displayed:

console# copy tftp://10.10.10.202/powerconnect_54xx_boot-2000.rfb boot

5. Enter console# show bootvar to verify which image is active. The following is an
example of the information which is displayed:

console# show bootvar


Image Filename Version Date Status
----- --------- --------- --------------------- -----------
1 image-1 1.0.0.31 31-Oct-2007 10:32:13 Active*
2 image-2 2.0.0.46 17-Jun-2008 20:04:29 Not
active

"*" designates that the image was selected for the next boot

When new software is downloaded, it goes to the “not active” image. Since image-2 has
the new software (the not active image), enter console# boot system image-2 to boot
from image2

console# boot system image-2

6. Type reload. The following message is displayed:

console# reload

This command will reset the whole system and disconnect your current
session. Do you want to continue (y/n)[n]?

7. Type Y. The switch reboots.


Using XMODEM and the Startup Menu

The switch software can be downloaded via the Startup menu accessed during the boot
process. The boot process can be initiated by cycling power or by commanding a reload from
the CLI (command line interface).

1. Connect to the serial port (default setting 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no start bits, 1 stop
bits) and enter the CLI mode. The following prompt is displayed:

console>

2. Type enable to enter the enable CLI mode:

console> enable
console#

3. Type reload. The following message is displayed:

console# reload

This command will reset the whole system and disconnect your current
session. Do you want to continue (y/n)[n]?
