How to upgrade Firmware to Extreme

Here  is the step to upgrade extreme xos image. Extreme switch is rarely used in enterprise network. Now some techinical engineer know only how to handle and configure the commands on it. By reading the steps on my blog, reader will easily learn how to upgrade firmware image on extreme within 5 minutes. 

There are two partition in extreme switch in order to store extreme xos firmware image file. Before  upgrading firmware image, you have to make sure the firmware image file will be downloaded into primary partition or secondary partition. I prefer to download secondary partition first and then set secondary partition as boot image. So we don't need to worry for crashing downloaded process of new image. If something is wrong with downloaded new image, we still have primary partition which is already running with previous firmware image .

1. Download image to secondary partition

# download image 172.16.41.1 summitX-12.6.1.3.xos vr "VR-Default" secondary

2. Set secondary partition as boot image

# use image secondary

 

3. Reboot extreme switch to restart with new installed firmware

# reboot

4.Verify the firmware version by using show version

 

 Enjoy learning. Hope all reader enjoy my technical writting.
