Downloading a firmware version to an Edge Switch
This procedure downloads a selected firmware version from the HAFM appliance library to an Edge
Switch managed by the open instance of the Element Manager application. The process occurs
concurrently without taking the Edge Switch offline or disrupting operation. Although Edge Switch
operation is not affected, name server, alias server, and login server functions are momentarily
unavailable. Although traffic is not disrupted, the green port LEDs flicker or blink during the IPL
portion of this operation.
NOTE: When downloading a firmware version, follow procedural information in the release notes
that accompany the firmware version. The information in the release notes supplements information
provided in the following general procedure.
Use these steps to download a firmware version to an Edge Switch:
1. At the HAFM appliance, open the HAFM application.
The Products view is displayed.
2. Before downloading a selected firmware version to an Edge Switch, ensure that the required,
compatible version of the HAFM application is running on the HAFM appliance.
a. Select Help >About.
The About dialog box is displayed with the HAFM application version listed.
b. Click OK to close the dialog box.
c. If required, install the correct version of the HAFM application.
