Alternate Firmware Servers
Selecting Alternate Firmware Servers in the left panel of the Options window provides the following view
where you can configure alternate firmware download servers. Alternate servers allow you to perform remote
firmware downloads without having to reconfigure the default NetSight TFTP server settings. By performing
firmware downloads via a remote server, you can avoid transferring traffic over a WAN. Alternate servers can
be configured to use either the TFTP or FTP protocol. These settings apply to all users on all clients.
NOTE: After you have configured your alternate servers, use the Create Firmware Record
window to create new firmware entries and associate them with the alternate servers.
Then, use the Set Firmware Server window to specify an alternate firmware download
server to be used by a device group or by individual devices.
