Downloading
Software to All
Switches
To download a new version of the AT-S26 software from one switch to all
the other switches using the Omega interface, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start an Omega session on the switch that contains the new AT-S26
software. The session can be a local session, web-based session,
Telnet session, or SNMP session.
Note
This procedure should be performed during periods of low network
activity. Software broadcast updates can fail if the network is
operating at a high activity rate.
2. From the Omega Main Menu, select System administration.
3. Select Broadcast updated software to all systems.
The switch announces the availability of the software to all other
AT-9006 switches; in turn, those switches that need the upgrade
respond by sending back a “request” message.
The Omega interface activates the Activity Monitor screen, which
displays status information as the destination switch requests and
then receives the software.
Note
You cannot undo this command once it is executed.
You may go to menus without interrupting the software download.
If you have many switches requesting the download, not all of them may
receive it, especially if the network is busy. It is recommended that you
repeat this procedure to ensure that all switches receive the upgraded
AT-S26 software.
Note
Switches with different download passwords will not receive the
software download. For information on setting the download
password, refer to the procedure Configuring the Switch IP
Parameters on page 42.
