Learning has never been so easy!
This how-to will go through the process of updating the firmware on an HP switch. To check your current version run #show version from the command line. You will need a TFTP server for this. You can download one from http://www.solarwinds.com/products/freetools/free_tftp_server.aspx. Once installed, disable your Firewall or allow TFTP, UDP port 69, through it.

- How To Firmware Upgrade HP v1910 24G Switch & Initial Configuration. By vmfcraig on Sep 22, 2012 at 11:02am. So, I finally have my lab all cabled and I have.
Go to https://h10145.www1.hpe.com/support/SupportLookUp.aspx and type in the switches model number, then select your switch and click “Show selected items”
Feb 19, 2019 - Now you're ready to update the firmware. Go to the HP website, enter the model number of your switch in the search bar, and download.
Step 2: Next, click on “Software downloads”
Step 3: Select the most recent version and download the firmware
If the current firmware version is substantially older than the most recent, review the information on the download page and the Release Notes to verify that you can update directly to the new version.
Step 4: Copy the .swi file from the downloaded firmware folder to your root TFTP folder. On Solarwinds it is located at C:TFTP-Root
Step 5: Log into the switch and backup the current config
Before you update the firmware, backup the current config. Save any changes by running
#write memory
Then, copy the config to the TFTP server.
#copy startup-config tftp .cfg
Step 6: Enter the menu interface on the switch
The firmware can be downloaded from CLI, but this tutorial will cover the menu interface way of downloading it. You can enter the menu from the CLI by running:
#menu
Step 7: Select the option Download OS from the menu
Step 8: Fill in the information about the file transfer and select 'eXecute'
First, make sure the Method is set to “TFTP” and change the TFTP Server to the IP address of your computer. Then, change the Remote File Name to the name of the .swi file on the TFTP server.
Step 9: Reboot and verify that the firmware has been updated
Once the firmware finishes installing, the switch will need to be rebooted for the changes to take effect. Microsoft office 2016 mac download trial. You can then verify it updated successfully by running:
#show version

- HabaneroScott Manning Jun 10, 2014 at 11:40amGreat how to and thank you for sharing. Good write up.
- Ghost ChiliNick42 Jun 10, 2014 at 06:16pmMight want to add some screenshots, separate code from text, and clean it up from just bold text titles. Great stuff, just needs a little reorganizing.
- SerranogitClaus Jun 10, 2014 at 08:46pmScott and Nick,Thank you for your comments and your tips.
- HabaneroPriscilla@HP Jun 24, 2014 at 01:50amMuch appreciated. Some times the first step can be overlooked: checking the current version. Thanks for the command and for advising the TFTP server requirement. I will file your 'How To' and direct others to it.
- PoblanoGraeme Vermeulen May 5, 2015 at 03:01pmYou forgot to mention.. back up the config before upgrading the firmware! I've experienced issues on a number of times where upgrading firmware has caused the device to reset to factory settings. This isn't limited to HP switches, but it's always a good idea to have the config saved just in case.
- PimientoLorfarius Aug 26, 2015 at 02:39pmIs it a good idea to update them to the latest version or in stages across all? I'm looking at a HP switch with the factory installed FW but there's been about 10 updates since then. https://eoskyey.weebly.com/free-vinyl-plotting-software-mac.html. https://powerfulri324.weebly.com/traktor-scratch-pro-2-demo.html. Would the latest be okay?
- Thai PepperConor1368 Dec 17, 2015 at 02:27pmUseful guide, but as mentioned above make sure you back up config files (Just in case):Command is #copy startup-config tftp config.cfg
- Poblanorodney.altamera Jul 1, 2017 at 09:03amWow!https://confmope.hatenablog.com/entry/2020/11/23/151405. Nice article! Very detailed and helpful. KUDOS to gitClaus.Thanks bro!Rodney
- AnaheimJason Rasmussen Apr 5, 2018 at 03:29pmExcellent writeup! Thank you! This is better than any documentation HP puts out on the subject.
- Pimientomarcom7 Apr 6, 2018 at 04:27pmthanks gitClaus,nice document, very detailed and helpful.I was able to complete my upgrade with no issuesthanks again.
- Datildeanmoncaster Oct 9, 2018 at 05:18pmThat couldn't have been more precise! I have never updated the firmware on one of these switches before and using the ethernet port and the console cable..im taking the firmware forward 3 years....thank you!
- Poblanor.jerham Jan 16, 2019 at 04:37pmCan I do this whilst on telnet session to the switch?
- Pure CapsaicinRob Dunn Feb 20, 2019 at 03:09amI'm going to chime in on this thread, even though it is OLD. :)I just upgraded an older ProCurve the other day, and something I did not realize..you need to step up the firmware updates. You can't necessarily update to the latest and greatest update if the firmware is say, 6 years old. I think there's a formula for this, but if you ever get a 'corrupt file' error while updating the firmware, it is likely you're trying to make too big of a jump at once.Also, the USB drive had (at least in my case) had to be formatted with a FAT partition. But perhaps I was experiencing other oddities at the time when I was trying an out-of-band update.
- PimientoSimon.Hulbert May 4, 2019 at 01:52pmJust to chime in on Rob Dunn's fine advice.I had a 10 year jump on some 2610's from R.11.22 to R.11.122 and had no problems whatsoever.Which was a relief, as like a fool, I flashed to both primary and secondary without first checking the firmware would work without issues.I got lucky on this occasion.Never flash both ROMs until you are certain!
