Firmware Upgrade Options
You can upgrade system firmware by performing a Web upload or a TFTP
download. Note that you can also upgrade by a direct connection to the console port
(see “Upgrading Firmware via the Serial Port” on page A-2).

Web Upload Management

Use the Web Upload Management menu to load software updates into the switch.
The upload file should be an Omnistack® 8008 binary file from Alcatel; 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.
