Download EPUBExtremeXOS Upgrade Process
Upgrading your ExtremeXOS image and modules uses the following process:
- Backup all configuration files (see Creating a Backup Configuration File).
- Download ExtremeXOS and module package images from the Extreme Networks
support portal (see Downloading a New Image).
Note
Beginning with ExtremeXOS 16.1, there are two methods available for the upgrade process:- download url filename - provides a means of downloading multiple files at the same time over TFTP, HTTP, or anonymouns FTP.
- download image filename - downloads a single .xos or .xmod file from a TFTP server.
- Place the image files on a server that your switch can locate (see Installing a Core Image).
- Discover your inactive partition (see Finding the Inactive Partition).
- Use the download image command to install each image on the inactive partition (see Installing a Core Image).
- Reboot the switch (see Reboot Options).
Upgrade Example
We recommend upgrading ExtremeXOS images and any modular packages at the same time. The following example shows the ExtremeXOS image summitX-15.7.1.4.xos and the modular package summitX-15.7.1.4-ssh.xmod being installed together before rebooting the switch.
