Upgrading Firmware Using the AMP

The SIPs can be upgraded individually or simultaneously. When an upgrade is initiated, you will see a progress bar. As long as an upgrade is in progress, you cannot initiate another.

NOTE: For the 2161DS-2, 4161DS, and 2321DS, you can upload new appliance firmware using ASMP (if supported), FTP or TFTP file transfer protocols. ASMP file transfer allows you to select the firmware from a local file system. The 2161DS supports the TFTP file transfer which allows you to specify the TFTP server address and the name of the firmware file.

Upgrading Remote Console Switch Firmware

To upgrade Remote Console Switch firmware:
