To continue with further configuration including securing and naming the switch, setting up SSH and Web UI access, PoE commands etc, please continue to the ICX6xxx Series Config Page. You now have a bare minimum setup on your switch, and the latest firmware. Now you have the latest PoE firmware, and can continue on. #try the "reload" command again once it's reached 100%
#run "show log" occasionally to monitor the update progress #you'll probably get a message that it hasn't finished. #save changes you made from the previous section #after a few seconds, hit enter to return to cli Note: if you have the small white C12 version of this switch, use the ic圆4xxc12_poeplus_02.03.09.fw file instead. Assuming you completed the previous section and the switch now has in-band network access (one of the regular ports are connected), just do the following: If it's a non-PoE model, skip this section. If your switch is the PoE model, you need to update the PoE controller firmware. If you skip this, the rest of the guides will not work. Note: You should now unplug your ethernet connection from the dedicated management port, and instead connect it to any of the regular switch ports. Now your switch is set up for basic switching, and has an IP address you can use to manage the switch. Choose an IP that is unused in your subnet, and out of your DHCP server range (ping it first to be sure it's unused): interface ve 1 Now we need to assign that virtual interface an address. First we need to give VLAN 1 its own virtual interface: vlan 1 By default, all ports are in VLAN 1, so it will behave like a typical switch. Now we give the switch its permanent IP address. Now we turn off the DHCP client, so it doesn't automatically grab an IP and look for a TFTP config (the cause of the earlier timeout messages): ip dhcp-client disable Now we enter the configure terminal level to make config changes: configure terminal Now to make any changes we must enter the enable level: enable
Now that it's booted into the full OS you may get TFTP timed out errors in the console, this is normal. Now we clear the temporary IP, then reboot the switch into the OS: setenv ipaddr Now we can tell it to flash the new OS and bootloader: update_primaryĪfter a couple minutes, it should complete. Setenv image_name ICX64xx/ICX64R08030u.bin #tell the switch the IP of your tftp server: You should not need to alter this: setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.50
We'll also tell it the filename & path of the firmware image. This IP is only going to be used temporarily by the bootloader. Now we need to give the bootloader a temporary IP on your network, as well as supply the IP of your TFTP server where it can find your files. To confirm this action, you must send CAPITAL Y - sending a lowercase y will just make it abort. Now at the boot prompt, we tell the switch to clear all current configs and old keys, so it boots into a fresh state: factory set-default If you missed the prompt and it boots the OS instead, pull power and try again.
Power on the switch while watching your serial terminal - start smashing the b key until you're dropped into the bootloader prompt, which looks like ICX64XX-boot>. If you haven't already, visit the Brocade Overview page to download the latest guide package and get it ready to be served via TFTP - this unified package includes all the latest firmware, licenses, and documentation.Ĭonnect to the serial/console port on the front using a program like Putty (9600 8N1), then connect the management ethernet port to your network (do NOT use any of the regular switch ports yet).
