Description

Installs a new version of the ExtremeXOS BootROM image.

Syntax Description

fname Specifies the BootROM image file.
reboot Reboots the switch after the image is installed.
slotid This parameter is available only on the SummitStack. On a SummitStack, the slotid specifies the node on which the BootROM image should be installed.

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

When you download a BootROM image, the system asks if you want to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you choose to install the image at a later time, use this command to install the software on the switch.

The BootROM image file is an .xbr file, and this file contains the executable code.

Displaying the BootROM Versions

To display the BootROM version for the switch, use the show version command.

Local Filename Character Restrictions

This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for local and remote filenames.

When specifying a local or remote filename, the switch permits only the following characters:

  • Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z)
  • Numerals (0-9)
  • Period ( . )
  • Dash ( - )
  • Underscore ( _ )

When naming a local file, remember the requirements listed above.

SummitStack Only

You can issue this command only from the Master node.

Example

The following example installs the bootrom image file bd10K-1.0.1.5-bootrom.xbr:

install bootrom bd10K-1.0.1.5-bootrom.xbr

On the Summit series switch, you see output similar to the following:
