AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Software Release Notes
PN 613-001447 Rev A 3 Allied Telesis, Inc.
Upgrading the AT-9000 Switch to AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 from Version 2.1.1
This section contains the procedure for upgrading the switch from AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.1
to version 2.1.2, from the command line. Here are the upgrade requirements:
There must be a TFTP server on your network.
The switch must be assigned an IP address. For instructions, refer to the AT-9000 AlliedWare
Plus User’s Guide.
Caution:
The upgrade process is disruptive to network operations because it resets the switch. The switch
does not forward network traffic during the reset.
There are three phases to upgrading the switch:
“Phase 1. Uploading the Active Boot Configuration File to Your TFTP Server” on page 3
“Phase 2: Downloading the New AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software” on
page 4
“Phase 3: Updating the Commands” on page 4
Phase 1. Uploading the Active Boot Configuration File to Your TFTP Server
Allied Telesis recommends uploading the active boot configuration file from the switch to your
TFTP server before updating the management software on the switch. You’ll use the file in phase
3 to check for v2.1.1 commands that are not compatible with v2.1.2. To upload the active boot
configuration file:
1. Start the TFTP server on your network.
1. Start a local or remote management session on the switch.
2. When prompted, enter a username and password. The defaults are “manager” for the
username and “friend” for the password.
3. Move to the Privileged Exec mode and enter the SHOW BOOT command to display the
name of the active boot configuration file:
awplus# show boot
Here is an example of the information.
The name of the active boot configuration file is displayed in the “Current boot config” line.
4. Use the COPY command to upload the boot configuration file from the switch to the TFTP
server. Here is the format of the command:
copy flash tftp
ipaddress filename
.cfg
The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the TFTP server. The FILENAME
parameter is the name of the boot configuration file you want to upload from the switch to
TFTP server. The filename extension must be “.cfg” for boot configuration files. The filename
cannot contain spaces.
