Upgrading BitStorm L3S-X firmware

Important:

A firmware upgrade to a slave switch is executed through the master's management console using two

hidden system commands.

●

Each slave must be upgraded separately.●

To illustrate this upgrade procedure, we're using the filename slv_1_1.rec. Your filename will be slightly

different.

●

From the Console Program Main Menu, go to the Command Line Interface.1.

Download slv_1_1.rec from your tftp server into the BitStorm L3S-T by typing:

>tftp r [tftpserveripaddress] slv_1_1.rec /home/slave.rec

tftpserveripaddress is the IP address of your TFTP server.

Press Enter. If the command line prompt appears, the download was successful. If you did not enter the

command correctly, the screen shows the proper syntax.

Upgrade the first slave switch's firmware by typing:

For the first slave switch:

>supgrade 1 1 /home/slvupgrade.rec

Reminder:

slvupgrade.rec is used as an example. You can rename the upgrade file anything you wish when you

download to the master and upgrade the slave

slave is the number of slave—1, 2 or 3.

slot is 1 or 2. The Switch maintains two copies of its image file. Slot refers to the location of each copy.

Always enter slot 1 so an upgrade only overwrites the first copy.

The screen displays the progress of the file transfer and notifies you when the upgrade is complete.5.

Wait for the slave switch to reboot before proceeding. This can take up to five minutes as the file is written

into flash.

Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the second and third slave switches.

For the second slave switch, type:

>supgrade 2 1 /home/slvupgrade.rec

For the third slave switch, type

>supgrade 3 1 /home/slvupgrade.rec

After you have successfully upgraded all slave switches, power down all switches in the entire stack and

reboot.
