Updating Switch Firmware
On the Update Firmware screen you can set up the switch to update its firmware from a TFTP server. If you do not have a TFTP server set up on your network, you can install the TFTP server software by installing Intel Device View.
After downoading the firmware from the TFTP server, the switch automatically restarts. 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.
2Select a mode from the Update Mode box.
•If the switch uses a network connection for downloading the new firmware file from a TFTP server, click Network.
•If the switch uses a SLIP 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.
4In the Firmware Update box, click Enabled.
