5 UPGRADING SOFTWARE
This chapter describes how to upgrade the software in your
Switch 4200G. It covers the following topics:
■ Upgrading from the Command Line Interface
■ Upgrading from the Bootrom Interface
■ Upgrading the Bootrom
Upgrade methods You can upgrade your Switch 4200G using several different methods:
■ Using the Command Line Interface is an easy and quick way. Either an
TFTP server or an FTP server can be used.
■ Upgrades can also be done through the boot menu using either TFTP,
FTP, or Xmodem. Xmodem is the slowest choice because it relies on
the console’s serial port.
Note: If you need a TFTP or FTP server, we offer TFTP/FTP servers on
www.3Com.com. Search for “tftp server”. The applications are located on
the link to “3Com Software Library - Utilities for 32 bit Windows”. These
applications run on Windows platforms.
