Performing a Software Upgrade
When Asanté issues a new version of the software image for
the IntraSwitch 5212, you can obtain it from Asanté’s World
Wide Web site or by contacting Asanté’s Technical Support
(see Appendix E, “Technical Support”).
The software file must be downloaded from a management
station on your network, such as AsantéView. These
instructions explain how to perform a software upgrade on
the IntraSwitch 5212 from AsantéView.

1 Make sure the switch is configured with an IP
address, and that the AsanteView; tftp
server is running.
2 Open the BootStrap Parameter Menu by typ-
ing b in the Configuration Menu.
3 Type r to set the Boot Load Mode to Remote.
4 Type t to set the Boot Mode to TFTP.
5 Type s and set the Boot Server IP address.
6 Type f and set the name and network path
for the new software image file; for example:
c:\AV\ISwitch.cfg
7 Make sure the following two files are in the
Boot server’s directory:
ISwitch.cfg
5212.10x
8 Type q to return to the Configuration Menu.
9 Reset the switch by powering the switch off
and then on.
