ex3500

Enables EX3500 switch firmware management. Use this command to perform the following operations: boot, copy, delete, and IP-related configurations.

The copy keyword provides multiple copy options. It allows you to upload or download code images or configuration files between the switch‘s flash memory and an FTP/TFTP server. When you save the system code or configuration settings to a file on an FTP/TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore system operation. The success of the file transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP/TFTP server and the quality of the network connection.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Service Platforms — NX 95XX, NX 96XX, VX 9000

Usage Guidelines

When using the ex3500 command and its parameters, keep in mind the following:

  • Destination file names should not:
    • Contain slashes (\ or /),
    • Exceed 32 characters for files on the switch, or 127 characters for files on the server.
  • The FTP server‘s default user name is set as “anonymous”.
  • The Boot ROM and Loader cannot be uploaded or downloaded from the FTP/TFTP server. Follow instructions provided in the release notes for new firmware, or contact your distributor for help.
  • The “Factory_Default_Configure” can be used as the source to copy from, but cannot be used as the destination.
  • Although the switch supports only two operation code files, the maximum number of user-defined configuration files supported is 16.
