Updating Switch Firmware
The Update Firmware screen sets up the switch to update its firmware
from a TFTP server. The actual firmware update occurs while the switch
is rebooting.
To update the switch’s firmware
1
Click the Reset and Update menu, and then click Update Firmware.
2
Select a mode from the Update Mode box.
•
If the switch uses a network connection for downloading the new
firmware file, click Network.
•
If the switch uses a SLIP connection for downloading the new
firmware file, click SLIP.
3
Type the IP address of the server that hosts the file in the TFTP
Server Address box.
4
Click Enabled from the Firmware Update box.
5
In the File Name box, type the name of the firmware file.
6
Click Submit.
The next time the switch reboots it downloads and installs the new
firmware during the boot process. If you want to view this process, you
must use a terminal program and be connected to the switch through the
console port.
NOTE
If you don’t have a TFTP server
application, one is provided
with Intel Device View (for
Windows) and LANDesk

Network Manager.
