Allows for automatic firmware version validation at bootup. When a switch boots, this script matches the configured-firmware-version with the correct-firmware setting. If the configured-firmware setting is off, it is corrected with the switch boot-up.
- Firmware: ExtremeXOS(TM) 12.3.x and Newer for fwvc.xsf standard
- Platform(s): Any ExtremeXOS switch.
- TFTP Server
###Example In the below example the x650 switch would check its firmware version against a pre-set supported version. If the incorrect version was detected upon boot, this would be corrected and switch (if selected) would reboot itself.
<x650 loaded with autoexec.xsf> (switch examines correct firmware)
<x650 loaded with autoexec.xsf> (If incorrect downloads correct image)
<x650 loaded with autoexec.xsf> (Option to reboot switch)
- This requires a TFTP server
- This requires pre-setting correct firmware version in the script
- For automation the script should be copied into a default.xsf and or an autoexec.xsf
- 1.0 - (7 Feb 2010) First Version of the script
