You can use this procedure to install the EFOS software on the Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch.
- Connect the BES-53248 cluster switch to the management network.
- Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the server hosting EFOS, licenses, and the RCF file.
Example
This example verifies that the switch is connected to the server at IP address 172.19.2.1:(cs2) # ping 172.19.2.1
