Download and Install Status Dialog Box
On hosts where the TFTP server cannot be started, a warning is displayed. The TFTP server may
not start because an existing TFTP server is running or because access to the TFTP port 69 has
been denied for security reasons (the default setting on Linux). In these cases, you cannot
transfer files from the local host to the switch.
Before exiting the session, be sure the upgrade process is complete. The wizard will display a
status as it goes along. Check the lower left-hand corner of the wizard for the status message
Upgrade Finished. First, the wizard displays the message Success followed a few seconds
later by InProgress Polling. Then the wizard displays a second message Success before
displaying the final Upgrade Finished.
