2.3.2 Software for 700 Switches

Published March 26, 2004

Enhancements

· Add a new user interface to flush the entire MAC address table.

· Fixed a switch stop forwarding traffic problem when there are a lot of multicast packets flow thru the switch.

· Fixed a bug where Ctrl-L could not refresh the screen in the System Information page.

· Fixed a bug where the cursor cannot go down in Port Trunking page for GSM712 or GSM712F.

· Fixed a bug where Trusted MAC addresses were missing in the configuration file.

1. Put the new software image on a PC with TFTP server. The file should be in the TFTP home/root directory.

2. Go to Main Menu>Tools>Software Upgrade (in the Web or Console Interface).

3. Select ‘Net’ option for ‘Next Boot from’ field.

4. Verify information such as the IP address for the TFTP Server, Gateway IP address, and the file name and its path of the new image (no path is needed if the file is under TFTP root directory)

5. Save the setting in non-volatile memory before reboot. In the Browser interface, go to Main Menu>Tools>Save Configuration, and use the ‘Save’ button. In the console interface, use Ctrl-W and confirm the change to NVRAM.

6. Restart the system via the Tools>Reset command. Bootstrap will retrieve the new image then pass control to it. The system will execute the new software image.

7. Test your switch to make sure the new image is working correctly. If you decide to keep the new image, go to Software Download again. Select ‘Net & Save’ option in ‘Next Boot from:’ field. If you prefer the previous firmware, just reboot your switch.

8. Restart the system via the Tools>Reset command. The new image should over-write the old image in non-volatile memory.

9. Verify the new image by going to the Main Menu>System and check the ‘Software Version’ information.
