Switch#configure terminal

Step 4 – Create user with correct privileges

(If you have already done this please go to Step 5)

Switch(config)#username admin password admin
Switch(config)#username admin privilege 15
Switch#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename startup-config? [y/n]:  y
Saving all configurations to NV-RAM.......... Done.
Switch#end

Step 5 – Open tftp server and transfer files to root directory:

Current Directory: C:\Program Files\Tftp64

Server interfaces: 10.90.90.110 (This is where the tftp server resides)

Step 6 – Upgrade firmware procedure

Switch#copy tftp: flash:
Address of remote host []? 10.90.90.110 (this is the address of the tftp server)
Source filename []? DGS-1510_Run_1_20_B013(0417145727).had
Destination filename []? 1.20_B013

Step 7 – Save configuration to NVRAM

Switch#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename startup-config? [y/n]: y
Saving all configurations to NV-RAM.......... Done.

Step 8 – Check which firmware is used to on boot

Switch#dir
Directory of /c:
1   -rw       8419464 Jan 01 2000 0001 2000 00:05:25  1.20_B013 In this example we are changing to this firmware
2   -rw       8071740 Jan 01 2000 0001 2000 00:08:35  runtime.had
3   -rw         34486 Jan 01 2000 0001 2000 00:15:57  config.cfg
4   d--             0 Jan 01 2000 0001 2000 00:00:02  system
30656000 bytes total (13521408 bytes free)

Step 9 – Change the boot file

Switch(config)#boot image 1.20_B013
Switch(config)#end
Switch#reboot
Are you sure you want to proceed with the system reboot?(y/n) y

Step 10 – Check the firmware has been used on boot


 
If you miss the above screen then enter the following command:
Switch# show boot
