3.5 Configuring Automatic Updates

The

Automatic Updates

screen allows you to enable a facility that will poll a server address (you designate)

when the switch is booted. If updates to are found since the last time the switch was booted, the updated
version is uploaded to the switch to use the next time the switch is booted. Enable this option for either the
firmware, configuration file or cluster configuration file when you always want to use the most recent
versions available to the switch. Motorola recommends leaving this setting disabled if a review of a new file
is required before it is automatically used by the switch.

To enable and configure the automatic update feature for switch firmware, configuration files and cluster
configurations:

1. Select

Switch

>

Automatic Updates

from the main menu tree.

2. Refer to the

Switch Configuration

field to enable and define the configuration for automatic

configuration file updates. If enabled, the located (updated) configuration file will be used with the
switch the next time the switch boots.

Enable

Select the

Enable

checkbox to allow an automatic configuration file update when a new

(updated) file is detected (upon the boot of the switch) at the specified IP address.

IP Address

Define the

IP address

of the server where the configuration files reside. If a new version is

detected when the switch is booted it will be uploaded to the switch and used upon the next
boot of the switch.

User ID

User ID

required to access the FTP or TFTP server.
