Displaying Version Information and Upgrading Firmware

to the switch, as well as upgrade your firmware for optimum performance.
To display version information and upgrade firmware:

The top half of the box lists the subsystem version in the switch. The lower
half displays the current IP address, Mask, MAC, and EID.
2 If you want to upgrade the firmware, click Upgrade and then click OK to
open the download box. You will be prompted for an FTP or TFTP device
IP address and the related information.
3 Click Download. After the firmware is downloaded, the Upgrade dialog box
will appear.
4 Click the Upgrade button.
NOTE: The switch will reboot when the upgrade is complete.
To upgrade individual SIPs:
