Firmware download for multiple switches

Downloading firmware using an external FTP server
1. Copy the .zip file containing the firmware to the local host on which the Fabric Manager client is
running.
2. Unzip the file and extract its contents to the FTP home directory.
You need to know where the FTP home directory is located prior to unzipping the file.
3. Select Tasks > Firmware Management > Firmware Download to switches.
The Firmware Download to Switches dialog box opens, as shown in Figure 140. Note that this
dialog box is different from the dialog box that appears when you are downloading firmware
with firmware repository support.

4. In the Host IP Address field, type the local host IP address of the firmware file.
NOTE
The file transfer options are not committed until you click Download (in step 9). If you close this
window before clicking Download, the file transfer options do not apply.
5. In the Remote User Name and Password Required for FTP fields, type your user ID and
password for the FTP server.
6. To populate the Firmware File field, click Browse to browse the local host and select the
firmware file.
The full path of the file is placed in the Firmware File field. For example, if your FTP home
directory is c:\Inetpub\ftproot, then the Firmware File field might contain the following:
C:\Inetpub\ftproot\5.x\v5.2.0_rc1 (where v5.2.0_rc1 is the firmware filename)
