4.22 Firmware Upgrade
Software upgrade tool is used to help upgrade the software function in order to fix or improve the function.
The switch provides a TFTP client for software upgrade. This can be done through Ethernet.
The switch supports TFTP upgrade tool for upgrading software. If you assure to upgrade software to a newer
version one, you must follow two procedures:
1.
Specifying the IP address where TFTP server locates. In this field, the IP address of your TFTP server
should be filled in.
2.
Specifying what the filename and where the file is. You must specify full path and filename.
Then, press

Upgrade”, and it will not upgrade the software as well.
When download is completed, the switch starts upgrading software. A reboot message will be prompted after
completing upgrading software. At this time, you must reboot the switch to have new software worked.
