Default Users and
Passwords

If you intend to manage the switch or to change the default passwords,
you must log in with a valid user name and password. The switch has one
default user name. The default user is listed in Table 5.

Use the admin default user name (no password) to login and carry out
initial switch setup.

Upgrading
Software using the
CLI

This section describes how to upgrade software to your Switch from the
Command Line Interface (CLI).

Note: You can also upgrade the software using the switch Web user
interface. See “Restore the Software Image”
page 188. Bootcode can
only be upgraded using the CLI.

1 To download the runtime application file, enter:

upgrade aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa rrr runtime

where aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa is the IP address of the TFTP server and rrr is the
source runtime filename.

2 To download the bootcode file, enter:

upgrade aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa bbb bootcode

where aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa is the IP address of the TFTP server and bbb is the
source bootcode filename.

The bootcode firmware may not require upgrading for every software
upgrade, therefore there may not be a new bootcode file to download.

3 To set the switch to boot from the new software you have downloaded,

enter the following:

reboot

The following prompt displays:

Are you sure you want to reboot the system (yes, no):

4 Enter yes and press Return. The system reboots the switch.
