Upgrading serial console switch firmware
You can upgrade the serial console switch firmware by using TFTP or file system.
NOTE: If you made changes in the Settings tab of the Manage Console Switch window, but have not yet
applied those changes before starting the upgrade, a warning message prompts you to confirm the upgrade
because the upgrade process requires that the console switch be rebooted. If you do not apply the changes,
they are discarded before upgrading the firmware.
To perform TFTP downloads, TFTP must be enabled.
CAUTION: Do not power down the console switch while it is upgrading. This process can take up to 10
minutes to complete.
