Displaying the firmware repository

The firmware repository is available on the Firmware Management dialog box. The Management
application supports .zip and .gz compression file types for firmware files.

Initially, the firmware repository is configured to use the built-in FTP, SCP, or SFTP server. To use an
external FTP server, refer to

“Configuring an external FTP, SCP, or SFTP server”

on page 220.

NOTE

The repository is not available on external SCP or SFTP servers installed on the same platform as
the Management application software.

1. Select Configure > Firmware Management.

The Firmware Management dialog box displays.

2. Select the Repository tab (

Initially, the repository is empty. You must import firmware files into the repository (refer to
