Using the CLI to Install Firmware

the new firmware image.
To install firmware using the CLI:
1. At the workstation prompt, enter the ftp command to go to the location on
the router where you want to transfer the firmware image. For example:
C:\fwImage>ftp 172.17.137.190
Connected to 172.17.137.190.
220 (none) FTP server (GNU inetutils 1.4.2) ready.

User (172.17.137.190:(none)) – ftp
331 Guest login ok, type your name as password.

3. At the ftp prompt, type BIN to set binary mode. For example:

WARNING!!
Installing new firmware disrupts the router connectivity because you must
reboot the router to activate the new firmware.
The reboot may result in the
transfer of incorrect data between devices connected to the router. QLogic
recommends that you suspend activity on the interfaces before activating
the new firmware.
