Performing a firmware download
During a firmware download, the switch reboots and the browser temporarily loses connection with
the switch. When the connection is restored, the version of the software running in the browser is
different from the new software version that was installed and activated on the switch. You must
close all of the Web Tools windows and log in again to avoid a firmware version mismatch. Note
that for chassis-based switches, you might get popup messages that imply the loss of connection is
temporary and will soon be resolved. You must still close all windows and re-log in.
When you request a firmware download, the system first checks the file size being downloaded. If
the compact flash does not have enough space, Web Tools displays a message and the download
does not occur. If this happens, contact your switch support supplier.
NOTE
You can perform a firmware download only when the current Admin Domain owns the switch.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 41.
2. Click the Firmware Download tab.
