Figure 88 Importing from a URL or from a file
3. Enter the URL to the firmware directory or file, or click Browse to locate the firmware file and release
notes on your local system.
Release notes are imported when importing from a URL. When importing from a file on your local
system, you must specify the release notes separately.

If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, a dialog box opens, in which you must enter the
proxy port and proxy host information. Depending on your configuration, you might also have to
provide a user name and password for proxy authentication. Proxy information is saved only for that
Fabric Manager session. The URL is stored in the database. The next time you start a Fabric Manager
client and connect, you must again perform a proxy authentication.
If you entered a URL to a firmware directory, the Select Firmwares to Import window opens (see
Figure 89).
Figure 89 Selecting firmware versions from a URL location

Repository pane.

firmware to multiple switches” on page 154 for more information.
To remove firmware from the repository:
1. Select Tools > Firmware Management > Manage Firmware Repository.
