On the TFTP server, assign an IP address to the connected NIC. For example, IP address
10.10.10.21 mask 255.255.255.0.

Reboot the device and go to the boot monitor mode by pressing "b ".

When in boot mode, enter the printenv command to display details of the images available on the
device memory. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> printenv

baudrate=9600

uboot=/foundry/FGS/bootcode/kxz07400.bin

ver=07.4.00T310 (Mar 1 2012 - 11:28:23)

Provide the IP address of the TFTP server that hosts a valid software image using the setenv
serverip command. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> setenv serverip 10.10.10.21

Set the IP address, gateway IP address, and netmask for the device management port and save
the configuration using the setenv ipaddr, setenv gatewayip, setenv netmask, and saveenv
commands respectively. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> setenv ipaddr 10.10.10.22

ICX64XX-boot> setenv gatewayip 10.10.10.1

ICX64XX-boot> setenv netmask 255.255.255.0

ICX64XX-boot> saveenv

NOTE
The IP address and the gateway IP address set for the device management port should be of the
same subnet as the TFTP server NIC.

Enter the printenv command to verify the IP addresses that you configured for the device and the
TFTP server. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> printenv

baudrate=9600

ipaddr=10.10.10.22

gatewayip=10.10.10.1

netmask=255.255.255.0

serverip=10.10.10.1

uboot=/foundry/FGS/bootcode/kxz07400.bin

ver=07.4.00T310 (Mar 1 2012 - 11:28:23)

Test the connectivity to the TFTP server from the device using the ping command to ensure a
working connection. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> ping 10.10.10.21

ethPortNo = 0

Using egiga0 device

host 10.10.10.21 is alive

10. Provide the filename of the image that you want to copy from the TFTP server using the setenv

image_name command. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> setenv image_name images/ICX/ICX64R08000.bin

11. Update the primary flash using the update_primary command. For example:

ICX64XX-boot> update_primary

ethPortNo = 0

Using egiga0 device

TFTP from server 10.10.10.21; our IP address is 10.10.10.22
