Upgrade Allied Telesis Switch Firmware via Command Line

Allied Telesis logo

In this article, I’ll show you how to update the firmware on Allied Telesis switches.

Note: We'll need to set up a TFTP server. If necessary, you can check how to do this for Windows and GNU/Linux.

Configuration

Switch models

  • x530L Series
  • x530 Series
  • x930 Series

Default password

  • The default login / password: manager / friend

Procedure

  • Copy the new firmware to your TFTP root directory.

Check available free space

  • Check available space:
awplus> enable awplus# show file systems

Copy firmware

  • Copy the new firmware from the TFTP server to the switch:
awplus# copy tftp://IP_TFTP_SERVER/firmware.rel firmware.rel
  • Example:
awplus# copy tftp://IP_TFTP_SERVER/x930-5.5.0-2.12.rel x930-5.5.0-2.12.rel
  • Untested, but we can also do it from USB:
awplus# copy usb://x930-5.5.0-2.12.rel x930-5.5.0-2.12.rel
  • Check that the firmware is present:
awplus# dir flash

Reboot with the new firmware

  • Configure the switch to boot on the new firmware:
awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# boot system firmware.rel
  • Check boot options:
awplus(config)# do show boot Boot configuration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current software : x930-5.4.9-2.4.rel Current boot image : flash:/x930-5.5.0-2.12.rel (file exists) Backup boot image : Not set Default boot config: flash:/default.cfg Current boot config: flash:/default.cfg (file exists) Backup boot config: Not set Autoboot status : disabled Boot Security Level: none
  • (Optional) Set a backup release to be loaded if the main release file cannot be loaded:
awplus(config)# boot system backup x930-5.4.9-2.4.rel
  • Restart to load the new firmware:
awplus(config)# do reboot
