Managing System Files
– 81 –
If two operation code image files are already stored on the switchs file system,
then the non-startup image is deleted before the upgrade image is transferred.
The automatic upgrade process will take place in the background without
impeding normal operations (data switching, etc.) of the switch.
During the automatic search and transfer process, the administrator cannot
transfer or update another operation code image, configuration file, public key,
or HTTPS certificate (i.e., no other concurrent file management operations are
possible).
The upgrade operation code image is set as the startup image after it has been
successfully written to the file system.
The switch will send an SNMP trap and make a log entry upon all upgrade
successes and failures.
The switch will immediately restart after the upgrade file is successfully written
to the file system and set as the startup image.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
Automatic Opcode Upgrade – Enables the switch to search for an upgraded
operation code file during the switch bootup process. (Default: Disabled)
Automatic Upgrade Location URL – Defines where the switch should search
for the operation code upgrade file. The last character of this URL must be a
forward slash (“/”). The ECS5520.bix filename must not be included since it is
automatically appended by the switch. (Options: ftp, sftp, tftp)
Automatic Opcode Upgrade Reload – Restarts the switch automatically after
an opcode upgrade is completed.
The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
host – Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not
recognized.
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash “/”.
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp://[username[:password@]]host[/filedir]/
