Download Software for a Standard Upgrade

A standard upgrade does not cross known boundary conditions that require use of the fullinstall option.

Before you begin

Ensure that the server from which you download the software is reachable from the SLX device that you are upgrading.

Procedure

  1. Download the software from the hosting server.
    device# firmware download ftp user user pass extreme host
    10.x.x.x dir builds/slxos20.x.x
    
    Performing system sanity check...
    This command will cause a cold/disruptive reboot and will require that existing
    telnet, secure telnet or SSH sessions be restarted.
    Do you want to continue? [y/n]:y
    If you enter y after the prompt, the device commits the software automatically upon booting up.
  2. Log back into the device.
  3. Verify the new software version.
    Both partitions on the device or on the modules should contain the new software after the firmware commit is complete.
