Instructions for updating

Ethernet Routing Switch 5510-48T HW:03 FW:6.0.0.18 SW:v6.3.4.029 BN:29 (c) Avaya Networks
You will have a string like that all over your switch. FW should match mine, that is the
latest I am aware of (and what ships with this). SW should match for you 6.2.3.xxx.
You need a TFTP server set up that the switch can access over its management IP. Then you
will go down the menus starting at the top:
Configuration -> Edit -> File System
Then in the right window, on the first tab (Config/Image/Diag file)
You will put in the IP address of the TFTP server, then in "ImageFileName" put the full path
of the .img file you want to use. So if the file is at the root of the tftp server's available
files you just put the filename, for me, it was under a directory or two:
baystack/v634/5xxx_634029s.img
As far as I can tell the image with the s at the end adds SSH support. The one with the one
lower number and no "s" doesn't have ssh.
Once you have the filename in the imagefilename slot, then at the bottom, in the "action"
section choose dnldImgIfNewer, then apply at the top.
It will warn you of this, but I will say it as well, THIS RESETS YOUR SWITCH!! It will be down
for multiple minutes. So if you have iscsi going over this fueling your ESX cluster, it will
all eat shit and die. Your switch will download the software image and the lights will go in
circles on the modules (actually looks pretty neat). It will take a few minutes. It should
reboot and bring up your switch with the new version afterward though.
