complete. This field toggles between the following:

•

YES - The module reboots after the download is completed.

•

NO - The module will continue using the existing firmware image. The module 
stores the new firmware image in Flash memory. When the module is reset or 
during the next power up, the module boots from Flash memory using the new 
image.

TFTP Gateway IP Addr (Modifiable)

This field displays the IP address of the TFTP gateway defined in the General 
Configuration Screen.

Last Image Server IP (Read-only)

This field displays the IP address of the server used for the previous Flash 
Download.
