Click OK when the details of the firmware image have been completely provided. Once saved, the
firmware image displays (and is ready to be selected) within the My Network > Firmware screen.
6 Select a firmware image from those displayed and click the Install button to confirm the file and time
the file is to be installed.
The Confirm Firmware Install screen displays containing the firmware file name and target device of
the firmware installation.
7 Begin the firmware installation by clicking OK, as Start the installation now is the default setting and
is already selected.
Remember, installing firmware on the target device will result in a device reboot and temporarily
take the device offline while it reboots with the updated firmware version. Ensure the firmware
operation does not render the device temporarily inoperable during a peak support period.
Filename
(full path)
Select the Browse button and navigate to the location of the target firmware image
to be ported into WMS.
Description
Provide a description of the firmware image to help distinguish it from others with
similar attributes or supporting the same model family. This is the name that
appears the main firmware screen with each available firmware image.
Supported Model
Select the checkbox of the device in which the selected firmware image supports.
Remember, though Altitude 3510, Altitude 3550 and Altitude 4600 Series access
points can use the same firmware file, WMS only permits you to update an
Altitude 3510 from a file designated for an Altitude 3510, and an Altitude 3550
from a file designated for an Altitude 3550. Keep this in mind when updating
access point firmware. Once selected, the supported model displays along with the
filename within the main firmware screen.
Version
Enter the firmware version. This is important, as Extreme Networks frequently
updates device firmware versions to provide customers with the latest functionality.
Thus, properly assigning an image the correct version lets you know its feature set.
Compatible
Versions
If known, list other controller or AP firmware image versions that are either
upwards or backwards compatible with the listed version. Entering this information
correctly supplies WMS with version information helpful if the administrator needs
to provide a device a different (but compatible) firmware image.
