Management Interfaces:

After an NDCLA operation is complete, management connections must be re-initiated:

SANsurfer Switch Manager sessions will re-connect automatically

Telnet sessions must be restarted manually.

Applicable Code Versions:

Future switch code releases will be upgraded non-disruptively unless specifically indicated in its associated release notes

An NDCLA operation to previous switch code releases is not supported. To install firmware, do the following:

1.In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Load Firmware.

2.In the Firmware Upload dialog, click the Select button to browse and select the firmware file to be uploaded.

3.Click the Start button to begin the firmware load process. You will be shown a message warning you that the switch will be reset in order to activate the firmware.

4.Click the OK button to continue firmware installation or click the Cancel button to cancel the firmware installation.
