Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide
Updating Switch Firmware
Use the Update Firmware screen to set the switch up to update its firmware
from a TFTP server. The actual firmware update occurs while the switch is
rebooting.
To update the switch’s firmware
1Click the Reset and Update menu and then click Update Firmware.
2In the Update Mode box, select a mode:
•If the switch will use a network connection for downloading the
new firmware file, click Network.
•If the switch will use a SLIP out-of-band connection (for example, a
serial port) for downloading the new firmware file, click SLIP.
3In the TFTP Server Address box, type the IP address of the server that
hosts the file.
4 In the Firmware Update box, click Enabled.
5In the File Name box, type the name of the firmware file.
6Click Submit.
The next time the switch reboots it downloads and installs the new firmware
during the boot process. If you want to view this process, you must use a
terminal program and be connected to the switch though the console port.
Note
If you don’t have a TFTP server
application, one is provided with
Intel Device View (for Windows*)
and LANDesk® Network Manager.
