Overview of the Firmware Manager
The EPICenter Firmware Manager feature provides a graphical interface for managing versions of
ExtremeWare and ExtremeXOS software images and BootROM images, and upgrading Extreme devices
as appropriate. The Firmware Manager provides a framework for storing image and BootROM files,
and allows tracking of multiple versions. It also provides an automated function that can check the
Extreme web site and indicate when newer versions of these files are available.
To start the Firmware Manager feature, click the
Firmware
button in the EPICenter Navigation Toolbar.
Firmware Manager Functions
There are multiple ways to invoke the functions provided by the Firmware Manager:
●
Using the menus at the top of the main Firmware Manager frame
●
Using the function buttons shown directly below the EPICenter Firmware menus
●
Using commands from a pop-up menu that appears when you right-click on a device or device
group entry in the Component Tree.
For simplicity, most of the instructions in this chapter only specify one method of invoking a function
(usually the function button).
