Special Note Concerning Firmware Updates

1.Never download new firmware through a trunked port. Doing so may result in a failed download, broadcast storm, or other network problems.

2.Avoid changing active links and do not make new loops on the network when downloading new firmware.

3.Downloading new firmware may result in the loss of some or all Switch settings. We therefore strongly recommend performing a factory reset and then restarting the Switch after a successful firmware download.

4.Firmware updates are handled by the PROM code, which doesn’t recognize VLAN tags. You should therefore make sure the Switch port to which the TFTP server is connected is not a tagging port.

System Utilities

The Utilities menu offers four system utility options, Ping Test, Save Settings to TFTP Server, Save Switch History to TFTP Server, and Clear Address Table.

Choose System Utilities on the main menu to access the Utilities menu seen below:
