TILITY
The CD-ROM supplied with the Switch includes a management
software upgrade utility. This utility can be used to upgrade the
management software of the Switch if a previous software upgrade has
failed, and you are unable to communicate with the Switch using the
web interface. You can find the utility in the following directory:
Agent/Update/
Only use this utility if a previous software upgrade has failed. At all
other times you should use the web interface or command line
interface to upgrade your Switch.
If you have any problems using the management software upgrade
utility, see “Solving Problems With the Management Software Upgrade
Utility” on page 8-8.
Using the
Upgrade Utility
The upgrade utility works from an MS-DOS prompt. It upgrades one
Switch at a time.

Switch using a null modem cable.

Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

If you are using Windows 3.1, close it down so that you are at the
MS-DOS prompt. If you are using Windows 95, open an MS-DOS

At the MS-DOS prompt, change your directory to the root directrory of
your CD-ROM drive.
