Sun Microsystems CP3240 Switch User Manual


 
4-12 Sun Netra CP3240 Switch Installation Guide September 2009
4.6.1.1 Load Code Update Package using TFTP/FTP
FASTPATH can be updated from within FASTPATH itself, but it can also be updated
from this menu.
The update image must be on a TFTP server or FTP server.
The server must be on the same network as the out-of-band management port.
You need to have the IP of the server, the desired IP of the board being updated,
the gateway (if needed), and the file name.
Note DHCP can be used to obtain an IP for the switch during this update. Enter
dhcp as the IP address. This entry begins the update and provides status
information as it is updating.
4.6.1.2 Erase Current Configuration
This is the same as clear config from within FASTPATH. This option can be used
if the switch is in an unknown state, and restoring the default settings is desired.
4.6.1.3 Erase Permanent Storage
This command completely erases FASTPATH, any log files, and any configurations.
It does not erase uBoot or Linux. Use of this command is never recommended.
Updates can safely be installed without running this option, and configurations and
log files are preserved.
4.6.1.4 Select Boot Method
The switch supports three boot methods:
from the local image on the flash
from an image over the network
from an image over the serial port
The default option is booting from the flash. See Section 4.9, “Network Boot” on
page 4-14 for more information.
