Managing Firmware - SMC Networks SMC TigerStack III SMC6824M Management Manual

Renewing DCHP – DHCP may lease addresses to clients indefinitely or
for a specific period of time. If the address expires or the switch is moved
to another network segment, you will lose management access to the
switch. In this case, you can reboot the switch or submit a client request to
restart DHCP service via the CLI.
Web – If the address assigned by DHCP is no longer functioning, you will
not be able to renew the IP settings via the Web interface. You can only
restart DHCP service via the Web interface if the current address is still
available.
CLI – Enter the following command to restart DHCP service.
Console#ip dhcp restart
Console#

Managing Firmware

You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server, or copy
files to and from switch units in a stack. By saving runtime code to a file on
a TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore
operation. You can also set the switch to use new firmware without
overwriting the previous version. You must specify the method of file
transfer, along with the file type and file names as required.
