134 Migrating Your Remote Console Switch
Upgrading Firmware Using the AMP
Before starting the migration process (see "Migrating Remote Console
Switches to the On-board Web Interface" on page 135), use the AMP to
upgrade the firmware to a version that supports the on-board web interface.
The SIPs can be upgraded individually or simultaneously. When an upgrade is
initiated, you will see a progress bar. As long as an upgrade is in progress, you
cannot initiate another.
NOTE: For the 2161DS-2, 4161DS, and 2321DS, you can upload new appliance
firmware using ASMP (if supported), FTP or TFTP file transfer protocols. ASMP file
transfer allows you to select the firmware from a local file system. The 2161DS
supports the TFTP file transfer which allows you to specify the TFTP server address
and the name of the firmware file.
