G8272 Installation Guide
If firmware updates are available, you can download them from the Lenovo
website. The switch might have features that are not described in the
documentation that comes with the switch, and the documentation might be
updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical
updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in
the switch documentation.
Before updating the firmware, we recommend you save a copy of the current switch
configuration to a separate device. In the event of a failed update, the saved
configuration can be restored. For more information about the configuration file,
see the Application Guide for your specific switch and firmware version.
Attention: Before you install a firmware update, read any release notes, readme
files, and change history files that are provided with the downloaded update. These
files contain important information about the update and the procedure for
installing the update, including any special procedure for updating from an early
firmware version to the latest version.
To check for firmware and documentation updates, go to the Lenovo website:
https://support.lenovo.com/
Note: Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo website. Procedures for
locating firmware and documentation might vary slightly from what is described
in this document.
To update the firmware image on the switch, consult "Chapter 4. Switch Software
Management" of the Application Guide for the G8272.
