XMODEM download through the console port TFTP download through an Ethernet port FTP download through an Ethernet port Copying files from a USB flash drive
Upgrading at the CLI
FTP download from a server TFTP download from a server
The system software and Boot ROM images for the HP A5800 and A5820X Switch Series are packaged in a .bin file. You can download this file to upgrade both Boot ROM and system software, or upgrade only Boot ROM. The Boot ROM image in the .bin package file comprises a basic section and an extended section. The basic section is the minimum boot image. The extended section enables the Boot ROM to bootstrap the system and upgrade system software.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading Boot ROM, upgrade both sections to ensure the functionality of the entire system. NOTE: For the A5800-24G-SFP (1 slot), A5800-24G-SFP TAA (1 slot), A5800AF-48G, A5820AF-24XG, A5820X-24XG-SFP+, and A5820X-24XG-SFP+ TAA switches, HP recommends that you use the management Ethernet port to download image files. This port can work even if all network ports have failed. You download files through the management Ethernet port in the same way as through a common Ethernet network port. This document uses a common Ethernet network port as an example.

Upgrading at the CLI

You can remotely download Boot ROM and system software images at the CLI.
Copying files from a USB flash drive

Every A5800 or A5820X switch has a USB port on its front panel so you can copy software package files from a USB flash drive. Follow these steps to copy a software package file from a USB flash drive and upgrade Boot ROM and system software:
Step1 Plug the USB flash drive in the USB port of the switch. Step2 Copy the software package file (for example, update.bin) to the Flash memory of the
switch.
<HP> cd flash: <HP> copy usba:/update.bin update.bin
Step3 Remove the USB flash drive, and load the Boot ROM image.
<HP> bootrom update file update.bin slot 1 This command will update bootrom file on the specified board(s), Continue? [Y/ N]:y Now updating bootrom, please wait...
Step4 Load the system software image and specify the file as the main file at the next reboot.
<HP> boot-loader file update.bin slot 1 main This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot 1! <HP> display boot-loader Slot 1 The current boot app is: The main boot app is: The backup boot app is: <HP> reboot flash:/update.bin flash:/update.bin flash:/update.bin
52
NOTE: You must reboot the switch with the reboot command to complete the upgrade. Before that, save the configurations you have made to avoid data loss. If Flash memory is insufficient, load the Boot ROM image first and delete useless files to free up Flash memory before you load the system software image. Avoid power failure during the loading process.
FTP download from a server

This section uses the topology in Figure 14 as an example. Run FTP server on the management PC at 202.10.10.53, create an FTP username admin and password, specify the source file path, telnet to the switch, and get the software package file (for example, update.bin) from the server. Figure 14 FTP download from a server
Step1 Get the file to the switch by using FTP.

<HP> ftp 202.10.10.53 Trying ... Press CTRL+K to abort Connected. 220 WFTPD 2.0 service (by Texas Imperial Software) ready for new user User(none):admin 331 Give me your password, please Password: 230 Logged in successfully [ftp] get update.bin update.bin [ftp] bye
Step2 Upgrade Boot ROM.
