So when we look at the newest software version for this HP ProCurve Switch 6200yl-24G (J8992A) at the ProCurve Website we will see software version “K.”. When you follow the link to the release notes you will see an important information. Invest in networking switches. HPE network switches are built to handle today’s network traffic as well as the inevitable future increase in traffic. They are agile, scalable, and secure and can be easily integrated into your existing Aruba infrastructure. I have a couple of old HP Procurve 2524 switches running firmware F.05.17, that are working fine. I want to setup the syslog configuration and from other post I read that I need to upgrade the firmware. I went to HP Web site and found the latest version to be F.05.72 but there were various updates before 05.72 I can not find the other ones.

HP Switch(config)# sho run Running configuration:; J9091A Configuration Editor; Created on release #xx.15.xx hostname 'HP Switch' module 1 type J8702A module 2 type J702A vlan 1 name 'DEFAULTVLAN' untagged A1-A24,B1-B24 ip address 10.28.234.176 255.255.240.0 exit ip ssh filetransfer no tftp-enable password manager password operator. HP Switch(config)# max-vlans 12 Command will take effect after saving configuration and reboot. HP Switch(config)# reload This command will cause a switchover to the other management module which may not be running the same software image and configurations. Do you want to continue y/n?

First of all, check what firmware and boot ROM your switch is using using the show flash command on the CLI:

All firmware versions I.08.07 onwards need the I.08.07 Boot ROM, and you’ll need to flash up to this version first. Thankfully HP provide that specific version on the website to download. Follow the exact same steps as below for I.08.07, then repeat for whatever version you’re upgrading to.

To get the firmware to the switch we use a TFTP server, a little out of scope for this article but you can find a lot of free and open source servers for this, i’m using my local pfSense gateway’s TFTP server for this, i’ve uploaded the I_10_107.swifirmware file to the TFTP and from the switch’s CLI I run the following:

After a few seconds you’ll be back at the prompt. To check everything has worked as expected check the show flash command:

All you need to do is reboot the switch with the new firmware, check everything works, then flash over the image to the primary flash storage:

Once the system is up and working, use show flash again to check its booted to the secondary area.

And if everything is working as expected, flash the firmware over to the primary image exactly the same way as before

For the final (optional) step, switch back to the primary image:

And you’re all done.
