Upgrading from ExtremeWare v6.1 to v6.2
ExtremeWare v6.2.1 Release Notes Page 11
2 Reboot the switch. The previous configuration of the switch will be preserved going from the
previous version of ExtremeWare to ExtremeWare v6.2.1. Verify that the switch is operating as
expected. After verification, you may configure features specific to the current version of
ExtremeWare.
3 Save the configuration to the primary space.
Note: After upgrading from v6.1.9 to v 6.2.1, 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. To change the leave
time-out value back to 10 seconds, use the following command:
configure igmp snooping leave-timeout 10000
Upgrading from ExtremeWare v6.2.0b60 or Later
If you are running ExtremeWare version 6.2.0b60, do the following:
1 Before you download the new image, upload configuration to a file on your TFTP server. You will
need to download this file after you install the new image.
2 TFTP download the version of ExtremeWare v6.2.1 to the primary image space. An example
command is “
download image <ipaddress> v62xby.xtr primary”.
3 Reboot the switch.
4 TFTP download the configuration you saved in Step 1, and enter “
Y” to reboot the switch.
Verify that the switch is operating as expected. After verification, you may configure features
specific to the current version of ExtremeWare.
5 Save the new v6.2.1 configuration to the primary space.
Do NOT save to the secondary configuration space unless until you are certain a downgrade to the
previous image is not required.
Downgrading Switches
It is assumed that you have followed the upgrade instructions correctly and that the desired previous
configuration has been preserved in the secondary configuration space.
1 If, as per upgrade instructions, the secondary configuration was saved while using a v6.1 or previous
v6.1 image, configure the switch to use the secondary configuration with the
use config
secondary
command. If there is no stored configuration saved for that version of ExtremeWare,
you will need to re-configure or download the correct configuration file to the switch when running
the desired image.
2 Use the image in the secondary image space with the
use image secondary command.
3 Verify that the above procedures were completed successfully with the
show switch command.
4 Downgrade the BootROM version to v6.5 if you are pointing the image back to a version of EW
previous to 6.1.9. The
show version command displays the BootROM version as “Unknown”
when the BootROM is downgraded.
5 Reboot the switch. If you have followed upgrade instructions, your original configuration should be
in place. If you did not have the correct configuration downloaded, you may provide a minimal
configuration for the switch through CLI sufficient to TFTP download the configuration file
