Log in to the switch by using the default username and password.In the console, configure the serial connection settings as follows:.Use HyperTerminal to open the switch console.Connect one end of the serial cable to the RJ-45 serial port on the switch, and the other end to the serial port on the server (workstation).Access the Brocade switch through Web Tools.Īssigning the management IP address to the SAN switch esĪssign the management IP address to the SAN switches:.Assign the management IP address for the switch.Please note that this is a disruptive upgrade, which means the switch will be restarted.After racking and cabling the SAN switches, configure the switches by performing the following tasks:
Then the system is going to do a check of the firmware and if everything is good, it will start installing the upgrade. Lastly, put in the password for the user. The filename is the folder where the firmware is residing in and for Network Protocol, choose FTP. The Server name or IP Address is the IP address of your workstation that hosts the FTP server. Next, we are going to initiate a firmwaredownload command and put in all the required options. Put in the IP address of the switch, select SSH, hit Open, and put in the root credentials.Īfterwards, we will use the firmwareshow command to see which firmware version is currently installed on the switch. We picked our favorite SSH client, which is currently PuTTY. Once we have configured that, created a user, and given it access to just the Brocade folder, we can continue connecting to the switch using SSH. Now, we will need to setup an FTP server on our workstation by using FileZilla FTP Server. Next, unpack the download and place it in the C:\Brocade\Firmware_version directory. Voila! We can download all the necessary firmware updates for our Brocade switches without a problem. You’ll see a link to another site called and clicking on that will redirect you to a wonderful page where all the FOS firmware packages to date are listed. Go ahead and Google DELL Brocade modelnum Drivers and then click on the first link from Dell.
Now, I’m going to show you a little trick, since it’s very difficult to get the FOS version from the official Brocade site. The first thing we want to do is to get the latest FOS for our Brocade switch. So without further ado, let us jump in and upgrade some firmware! Hello and welcome to a neat little article about upgrading the firmware of a Brocade SAN Switch with the latest FOS (Fabric Operating System).
