Updating firmware
NOTE:. Be sure to check the Release Notes and any special instructions that may have come with
new firmware updates. It is important to follow instructions found in those documents if they
deviate from this white paper.
Steps for upgrading the firmware on a stack of switches are similar to upgrading the firmware on a
single switch. After downloading a new image to the Master by using the File Download page in the
Web UI or the copy command in the CLI, the downloaded image is distributed to all member units of
the stack. The instructions below will guide you through these steps.
Command-line interface method
To find the firmware version the switch is using, enter the following command: show version
The commands below demonstrate how to copy the firmware file down to the switch via a TFTP server.
The switch will need access to the TFTP server on the network and the firmware file will need to be
present in the download folder of the TFTP server. Perform the following command from the CLI
interface. Press Y when prompted.
Be patient as this procedure may take a few minutes
