Guide for upgrading HP Aruba (formerly ProCurve) switch firmware.

Requirements

Update Hp Procurve Switch Firmware Settings

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ProCurve – Firmware Upgrade. Download the latest firmware version for your switch from our webpage: 2. Unpack the zip file into a simple directory i.e. C: temp or c: tftp 3. Download and unpack the latest version of Tftp32.
  • macOS
  • HP Aruba Switch

1. Start built-in tftp server on your Mac

tftp server will enable file transfers between macOS and Aruba switch.

Run the following command in Terminal:

Symlink tftp source folder to some other folder in your home directory that you have full control over:

Restart tftp server for changes to take effect:

2. Backup current switch configuration

Before downloading configuration from switch, you have to create empty file and give proper permissions so your switch can write the configuration over it.

Create config file:

Save startup configuration to file:

Don’t forget to change the permissions back after successful file transfer.

3. Check current firmware version

In this example, WB.16.02.0012 firmware uses WB.16.03 boot ROM. It is upgraded automatically from the firmware image to the version that is required.Make sure that you are upgrading from supported version. Sometimes you may need to install incremented backups to keep the configuration intact.

Check current flash:

4. Download the latest firmware from HP

Open this link and type in your product name to download the newest firmware image. In this example for Aruba 2920 24G Switch it’s WB_16_04_0009.swi

Copy downloaded firmware to your tftp folder:

5. Upload and flash the firmware on secondary image

Primary Image: Default storage for switch software image.

Secondary Image: Additional storage for either a redundant or an alternate switch software image.

With the Primary/Secondary flash option, you can test a new image in your system without having to replace a previously existing image.It is recommended to upgrade secondary image while booted into primary and after the upgrade boot into secondary to test if everything works well.1

Copy firmware to the secondary image:

You should see “The Secondary OS Image will be deleted, continue [y/n]?”. Respond to the warning message by pressing y.

Now you should see “Validating and Writing System Software to Flash…”

Wait for the process to finish and reboot the switch to the new firmware:

Check if everything is working well and no configuration is lost with the new firmware.

6. Upload and flash the firmware on primary image
