Managing switches

After an NDCLA operation is complete, management connections must be re-initiated:

QuickTools sessions will re-connect automatically

Telnet sessions must be restarted manually.

Future switch firmware releases will support non-disruptive upgrades unless specifically indicated in its

associated release notes.
An NDCLA operation to earlier switch firmware releases is not supported.
The Load Firmware dialog box (

Figure 37

) allows you to select and install a firmware image file. To open

the Load Firmware dialog box for an individual switch, select Switch > Load Firmware. When the Load

Firmware dialog box is opened, the path displayed in the Firmware Image Folder field is automatically

searched for firmware image files that can be installed. The default path to search for firmware image files

is the user's working directory.
To change the search path:

1.

Click Browse and select a new path.

2.

Click Rescan to search the folder displayed in the Firmware Image Folder field. The firmware image files

found are listed in and can be selected from the Version drop-down list.
