Downloading New Operational Code

To download new operational code in BOOT mode into APP1 or APP2.

Note: The Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice switches do not have an IP address assigned to the console ethernet port when it comes up in BOOT mode. Therefore, a user must assign an IP address (and default gateway) to the ethernet console port prior to attempting the TFTP download of a new operational image.

1. Ensure the ethernet console port is connected to the network for a TFTP transfer.
2. Enter the following command to assign an IP address to the ethernet console port:

Boot> ip address <ip address> <ip mask>

3. Enter the following command to assign a default gateway to the ethernet console port (if necessary):

Boot> ip default_gateway <ip address>

4. Enter the following command to download new operational code to APP1 or APP2:

Boot> download {app1 | app2} <serverIP> <filename>

5. Enter the following command to set the switch to boot from the appropriate image stored in APP1 or APP2

Boot> feprom set {app1 | app2}

6. Enter the following command to reset the switch:

Boot> reset
