PN 613-001447 Rev A 4 Allied Telesis, Inc.
This example of the command uploads the boot configuration file “sw2bldg2.cfg to a TFTP
server that has the IP address 149.182.34.15:
awplus# copy flash tftp 149.182.34.15 sw2bldg2.cfg
5. Go to Phase 2.
Phase 2: Downloading the New AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software
To upgrade the switch to AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 from AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.1:
1. Store the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software on the TFTP server on your
network.
2. If you have not already started the TFTP server, start it now.
3. If you have not already started a local or remote management session on the switch, start a
session now.
4. Use the ENABLE command to move to the Privileged Executive mode.
awplus> enable
awplus#
5. Use the COPY command to download the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management
Software from the TFTP server to the switch. Here is the format of the command:
copy tftp flash
ipaddress filename
The IPADDRESS parameter specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on your network.
The FILENAME parameter specifies the filename of the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2
Management Software stored on the TFTP server. The extension must include the “.img”
extension. The name cannot contain spaces or special characters.
In this example, the IP address of the TFTP server is 149.157.18.78 and the name of the
management software file is “ats-9000-2.1.2.img:”
awplus# copy tftp flash 149.157.18.78 ats-9000-2.1.2.img
After receiving the file from the TFTP server, the switch writes it to flash memory and resets.
The entire process takes several minutes. The switch is running the new software after it
completes the reset.
6. Establish a new management session with the switch.
7. Enter the Privileged Exec mode and enter the WRITE command to same the configuration.
awplus> enable
awplus# write
8. Go to Phase 3.
Phase 3: Updating the Commands
A few commands have changed from v2.1.1 to v2.1.2. If the switch encountered any of these
commands in its boot configuration file when it reset, it skipped over them to remove them from
its running configuration. To complete the upgrade procedure, you should print out the boot
configuration file you uploaded to your TFTP server in Phase 1, and examine it for any of the
modified commands. The modified commands are described here:
BANNER EXEC and BANNER MOTD Commands - The formats of these commands, which
are used to create the User Exec and Privileged Exec modes banner and message-of-the-
day banner, have changed in v2.1.2. Where before a command and its banner message were
included on the same line, they are now entered separately. The new formats are:
banner exec
banner motd
