Using the Web Device Manager
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 from a TFTP server, click Network.
• If the switch uses a SLIP out-of-band connection (for example, a
serial port) for downloading the new firmware file, click SLIP.
3 In the TFTP Server Address box, type the IP address of the server that
hosts the file.
4 From the Firmware Update box, click Enabled.
5 In the Firmware 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 connect to the switch through the console port.
