how to apply new firmware?

Justin

Feel like i'm missing something simple... I go to the maintenance -> firmware activity and upload the new firmware package. Wait a few minutes, log back in, and the new firmware package does not seem to be available.

The GS1900 series lets you have TWO copies of firmware

uploaded to the switch at any given time.

An "Active" copy of the firmware,

and a "Backup" copy of the firmware.

By default, the firmware upload page

saves newly updated firmware as the "Backup" copy.

You have to go to the firmware management tab

to make the newly uploaded firmware "Active".

Click on MAINTENANCE

Click on FIRMWARE

Then click on the "Management" link in the upper right-hand side.

It will show you which firmware files you have uploaded,

and which one is the "Active" image.

You can make it the "active" copy from this screen.

If you only see ONE firmware image, then

chances are that your previous upload attempt

was unsuccessful.

If so, click on the "Upload" link,

change the upload type to HTTP,

and browse to your updated firmware file again.

Hit APPLY, and wait for the image to upload.

(Do not navigate away while it is uploading.)

It's best to upload it as a backup, and then

use the Management screen to change it,

in case something goes wrong.
