Login to the SLC/SLB as 'sysadmin' user via Telnet, SSH or console port.
Using the command below, specify your FTP/TFTP/SFTP server's IP address, the login name and path.
Blue text indicates user definable entries, green text is part a static command.
...
To set up the ftp/sftp/tftp server use this command:
admin ftp server <ftpserverIP> login <login> path <file path>
Example: [My_SLC]> admin ftp server 172.18.25.3 login tftpuser path /tftpboot

Step 3.
Upgrade firmware.
admin firmware update <ftp:tftp:sftp> file <firmware file> key <checksum key>
TFTP example: [My_SLC]> admin firmware update tftp file slcupdate-5.1.tgz key c5bce8f6150fdf5b529a22c3e9633b7c
The SLC/SLB will then download the file from the FTP/TFTP/SFTP server and apply the firmware upgrade.
...
If your SLC/SLB has two boot banks, copy the configuration from the current bank to the newly upgraded bank:
5.3a and earlier:
admin config copy
5.4 and later:
admin config copy current
Reboot the dual bank SLC/SLB to boot from the newly upgraded bank:
admin reboot
All connections will be terminated and the SLC/SLB will reboot.
Do you want to continue? [no] yes
Alternatively, if your SLC/SLB only has a single boot bank the SLC/SLB will automatically reboot to initiate the firmware update.
Do you want to continue? [no] yes
There is no need to copy the configuration on single bank SLC/SLBs, the pre-upgrade configuration will remain in place.
