Updating Switch Firmware
Use the Update Firmware screen to set the switch up to update its firmware
from a TFTP server. The actual firmware update occurs while the switch is
rebooting.
To update the switch’s firmware
1
Click the Reset and Update menu and then click Update Firmware.
2
In the Update Mode box, select a mode:
• If the switch will use a network connection for downloading the
new firmware file, click Network.
• If the switch will use a SLIP out-of-band connection (for example, a
serial port) for downloading the new firmware file, click SLIP.
3
In the TFTP Server Address box, type the IP address of the server that
hosts the file.
4
In the Firmware Update box, click Enabled.
5
In the File Name box, type the name of the firmware file.
6
Click Submit.
The next time the switch reboots it downloads and installs the new firmware
during the boot process. If you want to view this process, you must use a
terminal program and be connected to the switch though the console port.
Note
If you don’t have a TFTP server
application, one is provided with
Intel Device View (for Windows*)
and LANDesk
