Today I'll show you how to update the firmware of an Aruba Switch which runs AOS.
I'll walk you through the steps of the firmware upgrade of the Aruba Switch and show you how to install a terminal emulator and a TFTP server.
In the end of the video I go through some common errors that happen when trying to update the firmware of a switch.
Below are the timestamps and links. I have listed the commands needed for the firmware update.

If everything is set up correctly and it does not work. (Firewall off, PC has IP address, TFTP Server is running and Root Directory is set)
Try:
conf
no dhcp config-file-update

Basically the switch needs the file path. By default it copies config.cfg, but this is most likely not found on tftp server.
