How to Upgrade VSP8284 XQS switch Firmware using WinSCP?

[Svalbard_GM]

Hello,

I am planning to upgrade the firmware of the VSP8284 XQS switch. Can I do it via WinSCP?

Meaning load the firmware to the switch using WinSCP and then apply the firmware to the current version.

Regards

Sval.

Hello GM,

Yes, this is possible. Use WinSCP to login and transfer the software file to the switch using for example FTP or SCP. Then go through the practice of extracting the files and activating the software remembering to do software commit once happy it is working.

To add to this: in preparation to it just make sure, your boot flag for "ftpd" is enabled and so is the ssh sftp . Verify it by "show ssh global".

Also make sure , there are less than six software versions installed. otherwise remove old versions (software remove).
