46 ExtremeWare 7.3.1b3 Release Notes
Upgrading to ExtremeWare 7.3
NOTE
ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 (and later) stores 75 static log entries. Previous versions stored 100 entries.
To accommodate the new entry limit, ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 clears the static log after your first
reboot. To preserve your static log entries, use the
show log command and save the output.
3 Verify that the correct BootROM and ExtremeWare version are loaded using the
show switch and
show version commands.
4 TFTP download the saved configuration, and answer
y at the prompt to reboot the switch.
5 Check the log for configuration errors. Manually enter configurations that did not load.
6 Save the configuration.
Do not save to the secondary configuration space until you are certain a downgrade to the previous
image is not required.
NOTE
After upgrading from ExtremeWare 6.1.9 to ExtremeWare 6.2.2, the IGMP snooping leave time-out
value will be changed from 10 seconds to 0. This results in an IGMP snooping membership entry
being removed immediately when an IGMP leave is received from a host.
This is good for an environment where only one host is connected. Use the
configure igmp
snooping leave-timeout
command to change the leave time-out value back to 10 seconds.
Upgrade to ExtremeWare 7.3
If you are running any software image from ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 to ExtremeWare 7.2.0 (or later),
upgrade to ExtremeWare 7.3:
NOTE
If you are upgrading a chassis with MSM64i’s to MSM-3’s, see the MSM-3 Upgrade Note included with
your MSM-3.
1 Upload the configuration to your TFTP server using the
upload configuration command.
2 Clear your switch using the
unconfigure switch all command, and enter y at the prompt to
reboot the switch. If you started the upgrade process with ExtremeWare 6.2.2b56 or later, you can
skip this step.
3 TFTP download ExtremeWare 7.3 to the primary image space using the
download image primary
command.
4 Reboot the switch using the
reboot command.
NOTE
If you have Hitless Failover enabled on your MSM-3, you can use the hitless upgrade procedure.
5 Verify that the correct ExtremeWare version is loaded on the switch using the
show switch
command.
6 TFTP download the configuration you saved in Step 1, and enter
y at the prompt to reboot the
switch.
