Downloading Software to the Switch
Downloading Software to the Switch
C a u t i o n
The startup-config file generated by the latest software release may not be backward-compatible with the same file generated by earlier software releases.
HP periodically provides switch software updates through the ProCurve Networking Web site http://www.procurve.com). After you acquire the new software file, you can use one of the following methods for downloading it to the switch:
■For a TFTP transfer from a server, do either of the following:
•Click on 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:
•Click on 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 4).
■Use the download utility in ProCurve Manager Plus.
■A switch-to-switch file transfer
N o t e
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.

Downloading Software to the 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 R_11_04.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 R_11_04.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.
When the CLI prompt re-appears, the switch is ready to reboot to activate the downloaded software
3.Reboot the switch.
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.
