Special Note Concerning Firmware Updates - D-Link DES-3624i User Manual

After making your changes in the fields above, press REBOOT TO START UPDATE to initiate the update sequence.
The fields you can set are:
Software Update Mode Set to either network or SLIP. Determines whether the configuration file should be
obtained through the Ethernet network or through the console port.
TFTP Server IP Address The IP address of the TFTP server where the runtime (switching software) or
configuration file is located. This entry is used only if the Firmware Update is set to Enabled.
Firmware Update Determines whether or not the Switch will try to look for a runtime image file on the TFTP
server.
File Name The complete path and filename of the runtime image file on your TFTP server to be uploaded to the
Switch.
Use Config File Toggle to Enabled to use the settings in a configuration text file when the switch is reset
(rebooted). The configuration file is explained in detail in the Sample Configuration File Appendix.
Config File Name The complete path and filename on the TFTP server for the configuration file to use.
Last TFTP Server Address is a read-only field that displays the IP address of the last TFTP server to be accessed.

Special Note Concerning Firmware Updates

1. Never download new firmware through a trunked port. Doing so may result in a failed download, broadcast storm,
or other network problems.
2. Avoid changing active links and do not make new loops on the network when downloading new firmware.
3. Downloading new firmware may result in the loss of some or all Switch settings. We therefore strongly
recommend performing a factory reset and then restarting the Switch after a successful firmware download.
