TILITY
The CD-ROM supplied with your Switch includes a management software
upgrade utility that can be used to upgrade the management software of
the Switch. The utility should only be used if a previous upgrade has
failed, and you are unable to communicate with the Switch using the
web interface or command line interface. You can find the utility in the
\agent\update\
directory on the CD-ROM.
If you have any problems using the management software upgrade utility,
see
“Solving Management Software Upgrade Utility Problems”
on
page 220
.

Switch at a time.

Switch using a null modem cable.

®
3.1, close it down so that you are at the
MS-DOS prompt. If you are using Windows

window.

At the MS-DOS prompt:
a
Create a directory called
upgrade
in the root directory of your PC’s
hard drive.

Copy the contents of the
\agent\update\
directory on the
CD-ROM to the

directory on the hard drive.
