System information

Installing from the startup OS
Installing from the startup OS
means to install software for the first time from the
internal flash memory that contains the startup OS.
The internal flash memory in a newly purchased BCU for AX6700S series switches, CSU for
AX6600S series switches, or MSU for AX6300S series switches, contains dedicated software
(the startup OS) used for the purpose of starting up the Switch. After you log in to the Switch, if
the command prompt is BOOT-INST-OS>, then the startup OS is running. In this case, before
using the Switch, you must install the basic software according to the procedure described in
this manual.
To install the basic software from the startup OS, you must transfer the update file shown in
Table 1-1 to the Switch and execute the ppupdate command.
The update file is the same for all AX6700S, AX6600S, and AX6300S series switches.
For details about the procedure, see Chapter 2.
Update operation
Update
means updating an older version of your software to a later version.
To update the software, you must transfer the update file shown in Table 1-1 to the Switch and
execute the ppupdate command. In this case, the configuration, user information, such as
login accounts and passwords, and optional license information are all inherited.
The update file is the same for all AX6700S, AX6600S, and AX6300S series switches.
For details about the procedure, see Chapter 3.
