der Switch muss hierfür die IP-Adresse des TFTP-Servers erreichen können. Bei bestehenden Switchen über das Routing und normale Netzwerk. Für neue Switche vergebe ich normalerweise eine temporäre VLAN1 Konfig und verbinde mich direkt mit meinem Laptop.
Vorbereitung
6100# conf t 6100(config)# int vlan 1 6100(config-if-vlan)# ip address <"IP-im-Bereich-des-TFTP-Servers">/<"Subnetzmaske"> 6100(config-if-vlan)# exit 6100(config)# exit
Download
6100# copy tftp://<"TFTP-Server-IP">/ArubaOS-CX_6400-6300_10_12_0006.swi primary
The primary image will be deleted.

VSF-Stack-Update
Bei einem VSF-Stack kann das update fast genauso durchgeführt wird. Als Besonderheit muss hier nach dem Kopieren der neuen Firmware-Datei eine Pause eingelegt werden, da die Datei erst auf alle Switche verteilt werden muss.
Beim Reboot werden alle Switches des Stacks geupdatet.

Rebooting in the middle of file synchronization can leave the stack members in an incomplete state. Continue (y/n)? n Reboot aborted. 6300# boot system primary Default boot image set to primary.
