Firmware Upgrade Options
You can upgrade system firmware via a Web browser, a TFTP server, or a direct connection to the console port (refer to the DNswitch 800 Management Guide).
Web Upload Management
Use the Web Upload Management menu to load software updates into the switch. The upload file should be a DNswitch 800 binary file from Digital Networks; otherwise the switch will not accept it. The success of the upload operation depends on the quality of the network connection. After uploading the new software, the switch will automatically restart itself. Parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
