Upgrading and Downgrading
18. Press any key to reboot the system.
19. As the system reboots, you may see prompts indicating that the front panel switch firmware needs to be
upgraded:
Switch firmware is down-level.
WARNING: This upgrade contains firmware which requires
an immediate reboot after installation, which will be
automatically performed.
The switch firmware is automatically upgraded if required. This process can take several minutes.
Caution – DO NOT INTERRUPT THE SWITCH FIRMWARE UPGRADE IN ANY WAY.
This includes power cycling the unit. Interrupting the switch firmware upgrade
can leave your system in an inoperable state.
l After successfully upgrading and validating the switch firmware, the system reboots automatically. Once
the system finishes rebooting, the console displays the Version 10 CLI "Username:" prompt. You can now
log into the CLI and configure Equalizer into your network.
See "Quick Start" on page 50 for the basics of creating a VLAN over which you can access the GUI
and use SSH to log into the console.
See "First Time Equalizer Configuration" on page 51 for a brief tutorial that explains how to perform
additional configuration tasks (creating servers, clusters, etc.) using the CLI.
Downgrading to Version 8.6
If you upgraded Equalizer from Version 8.6 to Version 10, you can later downgrade Equalizer back to the release
that was running when you upgraded. You can downgrade any Equalizer in the GX series. You cannot downgrade
LX series Equalizers.
This procedure requires the following:
l A saved restore system image created during the upgrade to Version 10.
l The password for the saved system image.
If you did not record the password or have lost it, contact Coyote Point Support for help.
Note - The downgrade process requires a restore image created during the upgrade of the unit from Version 8.6
to Version 10. If you later choose to downgrade a Version 10 Equalizer back to Version 8.6, you must use a
restore image that was created during the upgrade of that unit to Version 10. The file name used to save a
restore image is the serial number of the unit on which it was created, and this restore image can only be used to
restore the Equalizer with the same serial number. On Version 10, you can use the CLI command to display
Equalizer’s serial number, or check the serial number tag on Equalizer’s back panel.
