Ports Settings- Configuring a SIP
From the SCS you can display a list of the attached SIPs, as well as the
following information about each SIP: Health, EID, Port, Status, Application,
and Interface Type. You can click on one of the SIPs to view the following
additional information: Switch Type, Boot Version, Application Version,
Hardware Version, FPGA Version, Version Available, and Upgrade Status.
You can also delete an offline SIP, enable auto-upgrade, and upgrade the SIP
firmware.
Deleting SIPs
To delete an offline SIP:
1 From the side navigation bar, click Ports - SIPs to open the SIP screen.
2 Click in the applicable SIP checkbox.
3 Click Delete Offline.
Upgrading SIPs
The SIP Upgrade feature allows SCS Administrators to update the SIP with the
latest firmware available. This update can be performed using the switch user
interface or Avocent management software.
After the memory is upgraded, the switch performs a soft reset, which
terminates all SIP sessions. A device experiencing a SIP firmware update may or
may not be shown as disconnected. The device will appear normally when the
update is completed.
If the SCS is configured to Auto-Upgrade SIPs, the SIPs will automatically
update when the switch is updated. To update your switch firmware, see "Tools
- Rebooting and Upgrading" on page 65 or the Avocent Management Software
Online Help. If issues occur during the normal upgrade process, SIPs may also be
force-upgraded when needed.
