If the switch has two fabrics, you also can copy the host and Boot ROM program
files to the standby Fabric.
Step 2: Specify the next boot program. If the switch has two fabrics, specify the
load programs respectively for the active and standby fabrics. Suppose the current
standby fabric is at slot 7.
■ Load Boot ROM program
<3Com> boot bootrom flash:/Switchbtm.btm slot 6
<3Com> boot bootrom slot7#flash:/Switchbtm.btm slot 7
■ Load host program
<3Com> boot boot-loader flash:/SWITCH002.app
<3Com>boot boot-loader slot7#flash:/SWITCH002.app
n
The URL form of the files in the standby fabric file system must start with
“slot[No.]#flash:/”, where [No.] is the standby fabric number.
<3Com> display boot-loader
The app to boot of board 6 at the next time is: flash:/SWITCH002.app
The app to boot of board 6 at this time is: flash:/SWITCH002.app
The app to boot of board 7 at the next time is: flash:/SWITCH002.app
The app to boot of board 7 at this time is: flash:/SWITCH002.app

CAUTION:
■ You must reboot the switch using the reboot command to validate the host
program. If Flash memory space is not enough, you can delete some of the
program files in Flash after completing the Boot ROM loading. (You are
recommended to delete the host program that is no longer in use.) Then
upload the host program to the switch using FTP.
■ Make sure that you have saved other configurations before rebooting;
otherwise, they might not survive a reboot.
■ Power-off is forbidden during loading process.
Boot ROM and host program loading is completed now.
Remote and local loading using TFTP
Using TFTP is similar to using FTP in remote and local loading via commands. The
only difference is that you use the tftp get command to download software to
the switch. In this case, the switch can only be used as a TFTP client to download
the software to its Flash memory from the TFTP server. The remaining steps after
downloading are the same as those of remote loading using FTP.
Application Module
Program Upgrade
If you have the 360G Fabric (3C17508), download the application software image
files to the compact flash (CF) and then boot from the CF.
