Maintenance
This chapter shows you how to manage configuration files and upgrade firmware.
18.1Firmware Upgrade
Click Firmware Upgrade in the Maintenance screen if you want to upgrade your switch firmware. See the Statistics screen to verify your current firmware version number. Make sure you have downloaded (and unzipped) the correct model firmware and version to your computer before uploading to the device.
Be sure to upload correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model firmware may damage
your device.
Click Maintenance to go back to the first Maintenance screen when done.

Type the path and file name of the firmware file you wish to upload to the switch in the File Path text box or click Browse to display the Choose File screen from which you can locate it. After you have specified the file, click Upload.
18.2Restore a Configuration File
Backing up your switch configurations allows you to create various “snap shots” of your device from which you may restore at a later date. Restore a previously saved configuration from your computer to the switch using this screen. Click Restore Configuration in the Maintenance screen.
