How to Assign Firmware
The Assign Firmware window allows you to assign a firmware or boot PROM image to one or more product
families or device types. This enables you to download the assigned image to any of your network devices of
that family or type, using the Firmware Upgrade Wizard or the Boot PROM Upgrade Wizard.
The Firmware Mgmt tab displays firmware and boot PROM images grouped according to product family and
device type. Inventory Manager provides pre−defined firmware groups and automatically organizes the
images stored in your firmware directory under the appropriate group when you perform a firmware discovery
or refresh. The Unknown folder contains images that Inventory Manager could not correlate to a device type.
Use the Assign Firmware window to assign those images to the correct device type(s).
TIP: To quickly assign multiple firmware images to a single product family or device type, select the
images in a right−panel Details View and drag them into the appropriate left−panel folder.
Select a firmware or boot PROM image in the left−panel Firmware Mgmt tab (or one or more images
in the right−panel Details View tab), then select Tools > Assign Firmware. You can also right−click
on an image, and select Assign Firmware from the menu. The Assign Firmware window opens.
