Wait for the release to load. This can take several minutes, even if you are
loading the file over a high speed link. To see the progress of the load, enter
the command:
SHOW LOAD
To check that the files are successfully loaded, enter the command:
SHOW FILE
3. Enter licence information for the release.
Enter the licence password for the software release.
ENABLE RELEASE=87-261.rez PASSWORD=ce645398fbe
NUMBER=2.6.1
The release licence password is provided by your authorised distributor or
reseller and is unique for the release number, the file name and the switch’s
serial number.
4. Test the release.
Set the new release to run as a temporary install. This sets the switch to
load the new release once only when it reboots.
SET INSTALL=TEMPORARY RELEASE=87-261.rez
If you want to use the current switch configuration again, store the
dynamic configuration as a configuration script file and set the switch to
use this configuration when it restarts. Releases are generally backward-
compatible, so your current configuration should run with little or no
modifications on the later release.
CREATE CONFIG=myconfig.cfg
SET CONFIG=myconfig.cfg
The SET CONFIG information survives the release update.
Reboot the switch.
RESTART REBOOT
The switch reboots, loading the new release file and the specified
configuration. Display the install history, and check that the temporary
release was loaded.
SHOW INSTALL
5. Make the release the default (permanent) release.
If the switch operates correctly with the new release, make the release
permanent.
SET INSTALL=PREFERRED RELEASE=87-261.rez
Every time the switch reboots from now on, it loads the new release from
FLASH.
