[Enterprise Switch] How to upgrade switch firmware? Follow
Here provide two methods to upgrade switch firmware.
Support models
ECS4620 series, ECS4510 series, ECS4120 series, ECS4100 series, ECS5520 series, ECS4530 series, ECS2100 series, ECS2110 series, ECS3510 series.
Restriction
ECS2020 series only support Web upgrade firmware (runtime).
NOTE :
if display "file size exceed" after FW upgraded via CLI or display "Data is invalid" after FW upgraded via Web UI, you should upgrade FW to jump-code version first (pls connact our support members to get that ), then you can upgrade FW to new one.
CLI command
Prepare following tools for upgrade
- RS232 cable (conform with Edgecore pin assignment)
- Hyper Terminal
- TFTP server
Topology
Step 1: Making a Connection to an RJ-45 Port and check the port status LEDs to be sure the links are valid.
Step 2: Connect console cable to switch’s Console port and PC’s DB-9 COM port.
Step 3: Execute Hyper Terminal in PC, the serial port’s configuration requirements are as follows: baud rate 115200 bps, 8 data bits, None parity check, 1 stop bit and no flow control. (115200, 8, N, 1)
Step 4: You can log in to the command-line interface (CLI) using default settings: User “admin” with password “admin”.
Step 5: Setup IP address in VLAN, this sample use default VLAN 1.
# setup VLAN 1 IP to 192.168.2.10/24
Console#configure
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.10/24
Console(config-if)#end
# check VLAN 1 IP address
Console#show ip interface vlan 1
VLAN 1 is Administrative Up - Link Up
Address is B8-6A-97-B5-5E-80
Index: 1001, MTU: 1500
Address Mode is User specified
IP Address: 192.168.2.10 Mask: 255.255.255.0
Proxy ARP is disabled
DHCP Client Vendor Class ID (text): ECS4100-12Tv2
DHCP Relay Server:
Step 6: Execute TFTP server in PC and check PC and switch in the same subnet, for example,
Switch: 192.168.2.10/24
PC: 192.168.2.100/24)
Step 7: Download firmware from Edgecore official website:
https://support.edge-core.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000729314-Enterprise-Switch-Download
Step 8: Upgrade firmware via CLI (this sample use ECS4100_V1.2.73.203).
Console#copy tftp file
TFTP server IP address: 192.168.2.100
Choose file type:
1. config; 2. opcode: 2
Source file name: ECS4100_V1.2.73.203.bix
Destination file name: ECS4100_V1.2.73.203.bix
Flash programming started.
Flash programming completed.
Success.
Step 9: Setup ECS4100_V1.2.73.203 to next booting.
Console#configure
Console(config)#boot system opcode:ECS4100_V1.2.73.203.bix
Success.
Step 10: Reboot the switch.
Console#reload
System will be restarted. Continue <y/n>? y

Topology
Step 1: Making a Connection to an RJ-45 Port and check the port status LEDs to be sure the links are valid.
Step 2: You can log in to the Web server default IP: 192.168.2.10, using default settings: User “admin” with password “admin”.
Step 3: Into System > File page,
Action: Copy
Copy Type: HTTP Upload
File Type: Operation Code
Source File Name: ECS4100_V1.2.73.203.bix
Destination File Name: ECS4100_V1.2.73.203.bix
Apply button for action.
Step 4: Change Action to Set Start-Up page, configure ECS4100_V1.2.73.203 to next booting.
Step 5: Into System > Reset page to reboot switch immediate,
Reset Mode: Immediately
Apply button for action.
