ExtremeXOS 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 software images and any modular packages at the same time. The following example shows an ExtremeSwitching 5720 image onie-32.2.0.416.x86_64.xos being installed before rebooting the switch:
