Firmware Upgrade Options

You can upgrade system firmware by performing a Web upload or a TFTP download. Note that you can also upgrade by a direct connection to the console port (see “Upgrading Firmware via the Serial Port” on page A-2).

Web Upload Management

Use the Web Upload Management menu to load software updates into the switch. The upload file should be an SMC8606T binary file from SMC; otherwise the switch will not accept it. The success of the upload operation depends on the quality of the network connection. After uploading the new software, the switch will automatically restart itself. Parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
