This requires a bootloader binary file (*.btw). You will need to obtain it from HPN Support if you need to use this method to update your switches. Any other source will be dangerous and not Support should you run into difficulties.
I used bootloader binary file 95e12500lst1mrpnc12063_v2.20.btw and placed it in the root directory of my tftp server. I used tftpd64 on my laptop. You will connect an RJ45 cable between your
laptop NIC and the MPU’s Management port to perform these steps. Set your laptop NIC with an ip address and
subnet (1.1.1.1/8 in my case). Make sure
you set the Management interface within the same net (1.1.1.2/8 in this case)

Here
we will manually tell the switch which software files to load. If you do not have the ipe file loaded, or if
you don’t have enough room on your CF card to house both the ipe and the
individual .bin files, then use this procedure.
The lab switches and the production switches are using only the .bin
files for the upgrade.
