| | 105 | == Upgrading to 11.1.C.Ae == #Ae |
| | 106 | This is the production version of the !OpenFlow capable firmware for the IP8800. Unlike the experimental version, once you upgrade you don't need the SD card. |
| | 107 | === 1. Firmware upgrade === |
| | 108 | The firmware should have an extension of '.gz'. The easiest way to upgrade is to copy the firmware onto an SD card with a bootable file (e.g. something with extension '.img'^2^) along with the proper license; The switch will boot using the image file stored on the card, and will keep the SD card mounted and accessible under /mnt. |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | Now run `ppupgrade` as admin, specifying the full path to the new firmware: |
| | 111 | {{{ |
| | 112 | ppupgrade /mnt/nec.gz |
| | 113 | }}} |
| | 114 | And let the switch do the work. The whole process should take a minute or two. The switch will reboot unless given the `no-reload` flag with `ppupgrade`. The bootloader will search for .img files to load to memory upon startup. If you want the switch to boot into the new firmware when it reboots after the upgrade, you can either: |
| | 115 | |
| | 116 | 1. Issue `ppupdate` with the `no-reload` command. Run `reload stop` to halt the OS, and restart the switch after you (safely) remove the card ^1^. |
| | 117 | 2. Rename k.img to something else so it is not recognized as a bootable image. |
| | 118 | |
| | 119 | === 2. !OpenFlow configurations === |
| | 120 | The !OpenFlow components of the new firmware have been integrated into the CLI. There are contexts for !OpenFlow (conveniently called `openflow`) under the `show` and `configure` contexts. |
