Downloading Software to the Switch
Downloading Software to the Switch
ProCurve Networking periodically provides switch software updates through the ProCurve
Networking Web site (w
of the following methods for downloading it to the switch:
■ 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 4).
■ 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 L_10_0x.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 N_10_0x.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 shown in figure 1. When the CLI prompt re-appears, the switch is ready to reboot to
activate the downloaded software:
When this message appears, the switch has finished
downloading the software file from the server.
When the CLI prompt appears, the switch is ready for
rebooting to activate the downloaded software.

3. Use the show flash command to verify that the new software version is in the expected flash area
(primary or secondary)
4. 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.

Downloading Software to the Switch
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 dropdown 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. (HP 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.)
