Revision History and System Requirement

Upgrade Instructions

D-Link switches support firmware upgrade via TFTP server. Download the firmware from http://tsd.dlink.com.tw and place it in the TFTP server folder. Ensure the TFTP server is network-accessible by the switch.

Upgrade using CLI (serial port)

Connect a workstation to the switch console port and use a terminal program that emulates a VT-100 terminal. The default serial port settings are:

• Baud rate: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1

The switch will prompt for a username and password. Initially, no username or password is set.

To upgrade the firmware, use the following commands:

Example for Standalone Switch Upgrade:

Switch#copy tftp://192.168.0.127/dxs-3610-R1.00.040.had flash: 1.00.040.had
Address of remote host [192.168.0.127]?
Source filename [dxs-3610-R1.00.040.had]?
Destination filename [1.00.040.had]?
Accessing tftp://192.168.0.127/dxs-3610-R1.00.040.had...
Transmission start...
Transmission finished, file length 49938976 bytes.
Please wait, programming flash......... Done.

After successful transmission, configure the boot image:

Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#boot image 1.00.040.had
Switch(config)#end
Switch#show boot
Unit 1
Boot image: /c:/1.00.040.had
Boot config: /c:/config.cfg
Switch#reboot
Are you sure you want to proceed with the system reboot?(y/n) y
Please wait, the switch is rebooting..

Upgrading for Switches in a Physical Stack

Use the following commands for stack upgrades:

Switch#copy tftp: //10.90.90.127/R1.00.040.had flash: R1.00.040.had
Address of remote host [10.90.90.127]?
Source filename [R1.00.040.had]?
Destination filename [R1.00.040.had]?
Accessing tftp://10.90.90.127/R1.00.040.had...
Transmission start...
Transmission finished, file length 49938976 bytes.
Transmission to slave start....
Done.
Transmission to slave finished, file length 49938976 bytes.
Please wait, programming flash.......... Done.
Wait slave programming flash complete...
Done.

Configure boot images for all units:

Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#boot image R1.00.040.had
Switch(config)#boot image unit2:/c:/R1.00.040.had
Switch(config)#boot image unit6:/c:/R1.00.040.had
Switch(config)#boot image unit12:/c:/R1.00.040.had
Switch(config)#end
Switch#show boot
Unit 1
Boot image: /c:/1.00.040.had
Boot config: /c:/config.cfg
Unit 2
Boot image: /c:/R1.00.040.had
Boot config: /c:/auto.cfg
Unit 6
Boot image: /c:/R1.00.040.had
Boot config: /c:/config.cfg
Unit 12
Boot image: /c:/R1.00.040.had
Boot config: /c:/config.cfg

After uploading the firmware to the master switch, it will be pushed to the slave switches. Ensure the new boot image is set on both master and slave switches.

Note: If the new firmware file name is the same as the current running image, manual configuration of the slave's boot image is not required.
