6 Managing firmware versions
You can download the Edge Switch’s internal operating code from the HAFM appliance. Up to
eight versions can be stored on the HAFM appliance hard drive and made available for download
to an Edge Switch. This chapter contains information on the following firmware management tasks:
• Determining an Edge Switch firmware version, page 91
• Adding a firmware version, page 92
• Modifying a firmware version description, page 94
• Deleting a firmware version, page 95
• Downloading a firmware version to an Edge Switch, page 95
• Backing up the configuration, page 97
• Restoring the configuration, page 97
Determining an Edge Switch firmware version
To determine an Edge Switch firmware version from the management appliance (Element Manager
application):
1. At the management appliance, open the HAFM application.
2. At the HAFM application’s physical map, right-click the product icon representing the Edge
Switch to be inspected for firmware version, and then select Element Manager from the pop-up
menu.
The application opens.
3. Select Maintenance > Firmware Library.
The Firmware Library dialog box is displayed (Figure 55).
Figure 55 Firmware Library dialog box
The active firmware version is displayed at the lower left corner of the dialog box in XX.YY.ZZ
format. The XX is the version level, YY is the release level, and ZZ is the patch level.
