Upgrade using the Command Line Interface

Use the following procedure to upgrade the firmware from the command line interface (CLI).

Note
  • For this procedure, you will need the information provided by the Adaptive support team in the ticket, including the Server IP, Username, Password, Port, and other relevant details.
  • The legacy eosupdate command is deprecated for upgrades to 4.5.0. Instead, restore your saved settings after following the instructions in flash-upgrade to EOS v4.5. See Upgrading to EOS 4.5.0.
  • Following the flashing of the ELFIQ device, interface names change from ethX to pX. It is necessary to update your configuration to reflect the new interface naming convention.
