Upgrading Software and Firmware

3.2.1  Upgrading Switch Firmware Via FORE Stack View

FORE Stack View (FSV) includes an easy-to-use Firmware Upgrade Wizard. The
switch configuration remains intact when this upgrade procedure is used. To use
FSV to upgrade the switch firmware, you will need a Windows NT/95/98 client
running FSV. When FSV contacts the switch/stack, the front (interface side) of the
switch or stack is displayed. The switch/stack can be managed from this display.

NOTE

FSV has an internal TFTP server, so all TFTP
servers must be disabled before loading the
firmware.

NOTE

It is recommended to upgrade switch
firmware and ATM Module firmware
independently, with switch firmware
upgraded first. Although the same upgrade
wizard is used to upgrade both switch and
ATM Module firmware, this section covers
procedures for upgrading the switch
firmware only. For procedures on upgrading
ATM Module firmware, see Section 3.3.

1. From the main menu, select Device>Firmware or right click the switch

and select from the pop-up menu. The first FORE Stack View Upgrade
Wizard window displays.

NOTE

If you have a stack configuration, you are
first prompted to select the switch you want
to upgrade before the upgrade wizard
window displays. Highlight the switch and
select Options>Upgrade.
