NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Syntax Description force Specifies that a new image is installed without a version check. Default N/A. Usage Guidelines On NETGEAR 8800 series switches, use the install firmware command to upgrade the BootROM images on the MSM and I/O modules and the firmware on the PSU controllers installed in the switch. Firmware images are bundled with NETGEAR 8800 software images. On NETGEAR 8800 series switches, the NETGEAR 8800 software automatically compares the existing firmware image flashed into the hardware with the firmware image bundled with the NETGEAR 8800 image. You can also use the install firmware command to compare the firmware images. Before using the install firmware command, wait until the show slot command indicates the MSMs and I/O modules are operational. When the modules are operational, use the install firmware command. NETGEAR 8800 Series Switches The switch scans the I/O and MSM modules and the PSU controllers for a possible firmware upgrade. If the bundled firmware image is newer than the existing firmware image, the switch prompts you to confirm the upgrade. • Enter y to upgrade the firmware. • Enter n to cancel the firmware upgrade for the specified hardware and continue scanning for other hardware that needs to be upgraded. • Enter to cancel the upgrade. After a firmware image upgrade, messages are sent to the log. The PSU controller firmware is used immediately after it is installed without rebooting the switch. The new BootROM and firmware overwrite the older versions flashed into the hardware. Use the reboot command to reboot the switch and activate the new BootROM and firmware. During the firmware upgrade, do not cycle down or disrupt the power to the switch. If a power interruption occurs, the firmware may be corrupted and need to be recovered. NETGEAR 8800 automatically recovers corrupted firmware; however, the time it takes for the switch to boot-up may increase. The switch displays status messages after you use the install firmware command. The output varies depending upon your platform and the software version running on your system. Appendix A.
