Managing Your Switch Using the Remote Console Switch Software AMP : Upgrading Firmware

Upgrading Firmware
You can upgrade the firmware for either the Remote Console Switch or the SIPs. The SIPs can be upgraded individually or simultaneously. When an upgrade is initiated, you will see a progress bar. As long as an upgrade is in progress, you cannot initiate another.
If you upgrade the Remote Console Switch firmware to a version that supports the on-board web interface, the switch will be available in the Migration Wizard once the firmware upgrade is complete.
The Enable Auto-Upgrade for All SIPs check box allows you to enable an auto-upgrade for SIP firmware. You can override the auto-upgrade at any stage using the Load Firmware button described in the next section.
NOTE:
For the 2161DS-2 and 4161DS, you can upload new appliance firmware using ASMP (if supported) or TFTP file transfer protocols. ASMP file transfer allows you to select the firmware from a local file system. The 2161DS and Avocent A1000R and A2000R support the TFTP file transfer allows you to specify the TFTP server address and the name of the firmware file.
