Support Notices:

WARNING. Updating to Version K.13.xx: . It is important that you update to K.13.xx from a
configuration that has not been previously converted from a pre-K.13.xx format (e.g. a K.11.xx or
K.12.xx configuration). If you have previously updated to K.13.xx and rolled back to K.12.xx to
workaround an issue, you should load a saved K.12.xx configuration to the switch and boot to it prior
to updating to K.13 again.

Performing major software updates: Before updating your software version from K.12.xx to
K.13.xx, read the recommended best practices for performing major software updates (page 7).

Restriction in number of ACL mirror destinations: The K.13.01 software introduced a new
restriction to a single ACL mirror destination. For more information, see "Restriction in number of
ACL mirror destinations (page 24) .

PIM-SM: PIM-SM users should make sure ProCurve switches that run K software should all be on
the either pre-K.13.21 or post-K.13.21 versions of software due to a bug fix in K.13.21 that changes
the way a rendezvous point is chosen.

■ For a TFTP transfer from a server, do either of the following:

• Select Download OS in the Main Menu of the switch’s menu interface and use the (default)
TFTP option.

•Use the copy tftp command in the switch’s CLI (see below).

■ For an Xmodem transfer from a PC or Unix workstation, do either of the following:

• Select Download OS in the Main Menu of the switch’s menu interface and select the
Xmodem option.

•Use the copy xmodem command in the switch’s CLI (page 3).

■ Use the USB port to download a software file from a USB flash drive (page 5).

■ Use the download utility in ProCurve Manager Plus.

Note

Downloading new software does not change the current switch configuration. The switch configu­ration is contained in a separate file that can also be transferred, for example, for archive purposes
or to be used in another switch of the same model.

This section describes how to use the CLI to download software to the switch. You can also use the
menu interface for software downloads. For more information, refer to the Management and
Configuration Guide for your switch.

TFTP Download from a Server

Syntax:copy tftp flash <ip-address> <remote-os-file> [ < primary | secondary > ]

Note that if you do not specify the flash destination, the TFTP download defaults to the primary flash.

For example, to download a software file named K_11_1x.swi from a TFTP server with the IP address
of 10.28.227.103:

1. Execute the copy command as shown below:

ProCurve # copy tftp flash 10.28.227.103 K_11_1x.swi
The primary OS image will be deleted. continue [y/n]? Y
03125K

2. When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server, it displays the progress
message

Validating and Writing System Software to FLASH...

3. When the CLI prompt re-appears, the switch is ready to reboot to activate the downloaded
software:

a. Use the show flash command to verify that the new software version is in the expected flash

area (primary or secondary)

b. Reboot the switch from the flash area that holds the new software (primary or secondary),

using the following command:

Syntax: boot system flash [ < primary | secondary > ]

After the switch reboots, it displays the CLI or Main Menu, depending on the Logon Default setting
last configured in the menu’s Switch Setup screen.

4. Verify the software version by displaying the system information for the switch (for example,
through the show system-information command), and viewing the Software revision field.

Xmodem Download From a PC or Unix Workstation

This procedure assumes that:

■ The switch is connected via the Console RS-232 port to a PC operating as a terminal. (Refer

to the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the switch for information
on connecting a PC as a terminal and running the switch console interface.)

■ The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC.

■ The terminal emulator you are using includes the Xmodem binary transfer feature. (For

example, in the HyperTerminal application included with Windows NT, you would use the
Send File option in the Transfer drop-down menu.)

Using Xmodem and a terminal emulator, you can download a switch software file to either primary
or secondary flash using the CLI.

Syntax: copy xmodem flash [< primary | secondary >]

1. To reduce the download time, you may want to increase the baud rate in your terminal emulator
and in the switch to a value such as 115200 bits per second. (The baud rate must be the same
in both devices.) For example, to change the baud rate in the switch to 115200, execute this
command:

ProCurve(config)# console baud-rate 115200

(If you use this option, be sure to set your terminal emulator to the same baud rate.)

Changing the console baud-rate requires saving to the Startup Config with the “write memory”
command. Alternatively, you can logout of the switch and change your terminal emulator speed
and allow the switch to AutoDetect your new higher baud rate (i.e. 115200 bps)

2. Execute the following command in the CLI:

ProCurve # copy xmodem flash primary
The primary OS image will be deleted. continue [y/n]? Y
Press ‘Enter’ and start XMODEM on your host...

3. Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the Xmodem transfer. For example, using
HyperTerminal:

a. Click on Transfer, then Send File.
b. Type the file path and name in the Filename field.
c. In the Protocol field, select Xmodem.
d. Click on the Send button.

The download can take several minutes, depending on the baud rate used in the transfer.

4. If you increased the baud rate on the switch (step 1), use the same command to return it to its
previous setting. (ProCurve recommends a baud rate of 9600 bits per second for most applica­tions.) Remember to return your terminal emulator to the same baud rate as the switch.)

5. Use the show flash command to verify that the new software version is in the expected flash
area (primary or secondary)

6. Reboot the switch from the flash area that holds the new software (primary or secondary).

After the switch reboots, it displays the CLI or Main Menu, depending on the Logon Default setting
last configured in the menu’s Switch Setup screen.

Using USB to Download Switch Software

To use the USB port on the switch to download a software version from a USB flash drive:

■ The software version must be stored on the USB flash drive, and you must know the file

name (such as K_12_10.swi).

■ The USB flash drive must be properly installed in the USB port on the switch.

Note

Some USB flash drives may not be supported on your switch. For information on USB device
compatibility, refer to the HP ProCurve support Website:

http://www.hp.com/rnd/support/faqs/index.htm

Syntax: copy usb flash <filename> [ < primary | secondary > ]

For example, to download a software file named K_12_10.swi from a USB flash drive:

1. Execute the copy command as shown below:

ProCurve # copy usb flash K_12_10.swi secondary
The secondary OS image will be deleted. continue [y/n]? Y
03125K

.

2. When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server, it displays the progress
message

Saving Configurations While Using the CLI

Software Management

Saving Configurations While Using the CLI

The switch operates with two configuration files:

■ Running-Config File: Exists in volatile memory and controls switch operation. Rebooting

the switch erases the current running-config file and replaces it with an exact copy of the
current startup-config file. To save a configuration change, you must save the running
configuration to the startup-config file.

■ Startup-Config File: Exists in flash (non-volatile) memory and preserves the most

recently-saved configuration as the “permanent” configuration. When the switch reboots for
any reason, an exact copy of the current startup-config file becomes the new running-config
file in volatile memory.

When you use the CLI to make a configuration change, the switch places the change in the
running-config file. If you want to preserve the change across reboots, you must save the change to
the startup-config file. Otherwise, the next time the switch reboots, the change will be lost. There are
two ways to save configuration changes while using the CLI:

■ Execute write memory from the Manager, Global, or Context configuration level.

■ When exiting from the CLI to the Main Menu, press [Y] (for Yes) when you see the “save

configuration” prompt:

Do you want to save current configuration [y/n]?

Best Practices for Major Software Updates

Best Practices for Major Software Updates

Major software updates contain new features and enhancements, and are designated by an increment
to the major release version number. That is, K.12.xx represents a major update to software version(s)
K.11.xx, and K.13.xx represents a major update to K.12.xx, and so forth. To mitigate against potential
migration issues when performing such an update, this section documents best practices for updating
the switch, including contingency procedures for rolling back to previous software versions and
saved configurations.

Caution

Before you update the switch software to a major new version, ProCurve strongly recommends that
you save off a copy of your config file to an external location. ProCurve advises against rolling back
(going from a newer software version to an older software version) without copying on a backup
config file to the device.

Updating the Switch: Overview

To perform a major update to your switch software, follow the steps below (see page 8 for details):

1. Download the image to your TFTP server.

2. Save your current configuration (Config1) to a backup configuration file (Config2).

3. Save your current configuration to an external tftp server.

4. Backup your current running image (Primary) to the secondary image.

5. Set your secondary image to boot with Config2.

6. Download the new image to the switch’s primary image.

7. Verify that your images and configuration are set correctly.

8. Reload the switch.

After following these steps, you should end up with the following results:

■ Primary image will hold the new software image you want to install (for example, K.13.06)

■ Secondary image will hold the image you are currently running (for example, K.12.57)

■ Primary image will boot with config1 (config file corresponding to new software version—in

this example, K.13.06)

■ Secondary image will boot with config2* (config file corresponding to previous software

version—in this example, K.12.57)

* The current config file must be copied to config2, or you will be unable to revert if the need arises.

Best Practices for Major Software Updates

Software Management

Note:

You might opt to use a different methodology in which the new software will be installed as the
secondary and not the primary image, in which case you would use the commands boot system flash
secondary, and/or boot set-default flash secondary to change the location of the default boot. However,
since you will still need to take precautions to allow you to revert to your previous configuration,
ProCurve strongly recommends you follow the methods that are proposed in our update process.
This will ensure that you can use our proposed roll back procedures should the need arise.

Updating the Switch: Detailed Steps

The following detailed steps shows how to update the switch software from an existing version to a
major new release (in the example provided here, from version K.12.57 to version K.13.06).

1. Download the latest release software image to your TFTP server from the ProCurve Web site.:

http://www.hp.com/rnd/software/switches.htm

2. Save your current configuration (Config1) to backup configuration file (Config2).

a. Before copying the config, verify the current state of your system using the show version,

show flash, and show config files commands. For example:

Switch1# show version
Image stamp: /sw/code/build/btm(t2g)

Switch1# copy startup-config tftp 10.1.1.60 Switch1_config_K_12_57.cfg

Note

This step is necessary because ProCurve does not support roll back (going from a newer software
version to an older software version) without the ability to copy a backup config file onto the device.

4. Backup your current running image (primary) to the secondary image.

Switch1# copy flash flash secondary

Switch1# show flash
Image Size(Bytes) Date Version

----- ---------- -------- ------­Primary Image : 6782942 12/07/07 K.12.57
Secondary Image : 6782942 12/07/07 K.12.57
Boot Rom Version: K.12.12
Default Boot : Primary

5. Set your secondary image to boot with Config2.

Switch1# startup-default secondary config config2

Switch1# show config files

Configuration files:

id | act pri sec | name

---+-------------+-----------------------------------------------­ 1 | * * | config1

Note

This step will enable you to revert from K_13_05 to your previous image with your previous
configuration just by invoking the command boot system flash secondary.

6. Download the new primary image.

Switch1# copy tftp flash 192.168.1.60 K_13_06.swi primary
The Primary OS Image will be deleted, continue [y/n]?

At the prompt, answer y, for yes, and the new image will be downloaded and written to the File
system. Once tftp download has been completed you will see the following message:

Validating and Writing System Software to the Filesystem ...

7. Verify that your images and configuration are set correctly. For example, if you updated from
K.12.57 to K.13.06, you should see the following outputs from the switch show commands:

Switch1# show version

8. Reload the new switch image.

Switch1# reload
System will be rebooted from primary image. Do you want to continue [y/n]? y

At the prompt, answer y, for yes, and the switch will boot with the new image.

Note:

As an additional step, ProCurve advises saving the startup-config to a tftp server using the copy tftp
command. For example:

Switch1# copy startup-config tftp 10.1.1.60 Switch1_config_K_13_06.cfg

Rolling Back Switch Software

If you have followed the update procedures documented in the previous section, you should be able
to revert to your previous configuration and software version using the steps below.

To roll back your switch from K.13.06 to K.12.57, for example, follow the steps below:

1. Verify that your images and configuration are set correctly using the show version, show flash,
and show config files commands.

2. Boot the switch using the secondary image (with config2).

Switch1# boot system flash secondary
System will be rebooted from secondary image. Do you want to continue [y/n]? y

Answer y, for yes, and the switch will boot from the secondary image (K.12.57, in this
example) with the corresponding configuration for that software version (Config2).

Viewing or Transferring Alternate Configuration Files

Viewing or copying an alternate configuration saved to the switch will always be accomplished
through the software currently running on the switch. This may result in a misleading portrayal of
the configuration. For example, if a configuration is created on K.12.57 and saved as config2, and if
it is then viewed or transferred while the switch is running K.13.06, it will appear as though K.13.06
has converted the configuration. However, the alternate configuration file, config2, will still be intact
on the switch and load properly when the switch is booted into the same software version from which
the configuration file originated.

When an enhancement introduces a feature that did not previously exist in the switch, it may present
several challenges to the user.

Backwards compatibility of the configuration created with a version of software that supports a new
feature or parameter is not guaranteed. Software versions that did not recognize or support a
particular command or parameter will not be able to interpret that line in the configuration. For this
reason, it is strongly recommended that network administrators always save their configuration
while still running the switch with the original software version, and with a notation indicating
the software version on which the configuration was saved. For example, a user might save a
configuration for a switch running K.12.57 to a TFTP server with an IP address of 10.10.10.15 as
follows:

ProCurve5406zl-onK1257# copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.15
5406onK1257

If, for example, the user deems it necessary to revert to the use of K.12.57, she can boot into it and
then restore the saved config from the TFTP server.

Viewing or copying an alternate configuration that is saved to the switch flash can be accomplished
only with the software that is currently running on the switch.

Here, for example, a configuration is created on K.12.57 and then saved to flash:

ProCurve5406zl-onK1257# copy config config2 config K1257config <cr>

12

Software Management

Best Practices for Major Software Updates

And later, the configuration that was created on K.12.57 is viewed while the switch is running K.13.06:

ProCurve5406zl-onK1306# show config K1257config <cr>

The command output will show how the K.12.57 config would be interpreted, if it were to be used
by the K.13.06 software. Copying the K1257config to a TFTP server would similarly trigger an

interpretation by the software performing the file transfer. Note, however, that this does not actually
change the configuration. If the version is rolled back from K.13.06 to K.12.57 with a command like
the following (given that K.12.57 is stored in secondary flash), the K.12.xx formatted config is still
intact and valid.

ProCurve5406zl# boot system flash secondary config K1257config

This “interpretation” during a TFTP or show command execution is inherent in the architecture of
the switch. When switch features change significantly (e.g. the move from IPv4 support to IPv6
support), there may be configuration parameters from the previous config that cannot be translated
by the switch for viewing while it is running the new software. This necessitates storing configura­tions for each version of software to an external location, if the user would like to view the stored
config prior to reloading it.

ROM Update Required!

All yl and zl switches running K.12.45 system software or earlier, will have the BootROM updated by
this new version of system software. This software download will boot the switch twice, first to
update the BootROM to version K.12.14, and then to load the system software. Following file copy
to the switch flash and initiation of the reload, no additional user intervention is needed. Do not
interrupt power to the switch during this important update.

To confirm that the boot ROM and system software have updated successfully following a reload into
software version K.13.49 or newer, follow the process below at your switch CLI.

Using SNMP To View and Configure Switch Authentication Features

Beginning with software release K.12.01, manager read/write access is available for a subset of the
SNMP MIB objects for switch authentication (hpSwitchAuth) features. That is, in the default state,
a device with management access to the switch can view the configuration for several authentication
features, and using SNMP sets, can change elements of the authentication configuration.

Security Note

In the default configuration for SNMP MIB object access, SNMP sets can be used to reconfigure
password and key MIB objects. This means that a device operating as a management station with
access to the switch can be used to change the SNMP MIB settings. This can pose a security risk if
the feature is used to incorrectly configure authentication features or to reconfigure authentication
features to unauthorized settings.

If you want to block the SNMP MIB object access described above, use the following command to
disable the feature:

17

Minimum Software Versions

ProCurve(config)# snmp-server mib hpswitchauthmib excluded

For more information on the above topic, refer to "Using SNMP To View and Configure Switch
Authentication Features" in the "RADIUS Authentication and Accounting" chapter of the Access
Security Guide for your switch. For an overview of the security features available on the switch,
refer to chapter 1, "Security Overview", in the Access Security Guide for your switch.

Security:

Downloading and booting software release K.12.01 or greater for the first time automatically
enables SNMP access to the hpSwitchAuth MIB objects. If this is not desirable for your network,
ProCurve recommends that you disable it after downloading and rebooting with the latest switch
software.

ACL numbering restrictions:

The K.12.01 release enforces ACL numbering restrictions.

See the Note under Version K.12.01 Software Fixes on page 160 (PR_1000389442) for details.

OSPF virtual link:

OSPF virtual links configurations will be lost with the update to K.12.01.

Support Notes

See the Note under Version K.12.01 Software Fixes on page 161 (PR_1000374003) for details.

MSTP auto-edge-port support and default settings:

With version K.12.04 (page 33), automatic detection of edge ports is supported, along with revised
command options and default settings.

Resources (PR_1000388697):

When the switch is writing large files to flash (for example, a transfer of a very large configuration
or a software update), switch resources may be impacted during the write operation, causing
some potential loss of hello packets. This may impact VRRP, OSPF or spanning tree protocol. In
order to mitigate potentially undesirable affects, updates to the switch software should be made
during a scheduled downtime. Increasing the hello interval of time sensitive protocols may also
assist with mitigation of this issue.

Support for the Wireless Edge Services zl Module

The addition of support for the zl Wireless Edge Services Module will change the way in which radio
ports are treated by the zl and yl Series Switches. If the default setting of LLDP auto-provisioning is
left intact, LLDP information from the ProCurve Radio Ports (J9004A, J9005A, J9006A) will trigger
these devices to be placed into VLAN 2100 or the first available VLAN not already configured above
that (see the section entitled Using Auto-Provisioning to Establish a Radio Port VLAN in the

CAUTION: Updating to Version K.13.xx

It is important that you update to K.13.xx from a configuration that has not been previously converted
from a pre-K.13.xx format (e.g. a K.11.xx or K.12.xx configuration). If you have previously updated
to K.13.xx and rolled back to K.12.xx to workaround an issue, you should load a saved K.12.xx
configuration to the switch and boot to it prior to updating to K.13 again.
