Firmware Upgrade Options
You can upgrade system firmware by performing a Web upload or a
TFTP download. Note that you can also upgrade by a direct
connection to the console port (see “Upgrading Firmware via the
Serial Port” on page A-2).
Web Upload Management
Use the Web Upload Management menu to load software updates
into the switch. The upload file should be an SMC8606T binary file
from SMC; otherwise the switch will not accept it. The success of the
upload operation depends on the quality of the network connection.
After uploading the new software, the switch will automatically
restart itself. Parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the
following figure and table.
Parameter Description
