ProCurve Secure Access 700wl Series Management and Configuration Guide 8-7
System Maintenance
The Software Setup tab displays both the installed software version as well as an alternate version,
which should be the newly-downloaded version. You must then reboot to the alternate version to
complete the update of the software.
Step 6. To initiate a reboot of the unit, return to the Software Setup tab and select Restart to Alternate
Software
.
When the system has rebooted, the newly-downloaded version should appear as the Installed
Version under the Software Setup tab. The previously installed version should appear as the
Alternate Version.
Caution:
Rebooting a Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager will log off all clients on all
Access Controllers. If possible, you should perform an upgrade and restart during a time when clients
are not actively connected.
Support for Alternate Download Sites
By default the download URL specifies the location of a ProCurve FTP server site where the most recent
upgrade images are stored. If for any reason you cannot or do not wish to download software images
from the ProCurve download FTP site, it is possible to obtain the software images and install them on
your own FTP, TFTP, or HTTP site.
Note:
To download the software image to a local FTP, HTTP, or TFTP server, please contact ProCurve
Technical Support at [e-mail].
If you know that the download images are stored on a different server, you can enter your URL in any
one of these URL formats:
•
<protocol>://<host>/<update_file>
• <protocol>://<username>[:<password>]@<host>/<update_file>
where the variables in those formats can be as follows:
For example, to retrieve the software from an internal FTP server at “mycompany.com” that requires a
username and password:
ftp://jane:[e-mail]/users/ftp/ambit4
Variable Value
protocol FTP, HTTP, or TFTP
host IP address or a server hostname
host can include a port—hostname:port—following the host name and
separated by a colon
username[:password] Username and password with access to the remote site, if required
update_file Filename (including the path) of the software image
Please contact ProCurve Technical Support for information on the current
downloadable image.
For TFTP or anonymous FTP, the path is relative to the anonymous FTP or
TFTP root. If a username and password is required for FTP, then the full path
to the update file must be specified. For HTTP, the path is always relative to the
web server’s site root directory.
