C. Upgrading Software

In this section, we will be performing a simple patch upgrade using the Patch Upgrade

operation. Before proceeding, make sure you have added one or more devices. If you have
not done so, please go back to the previous section, "Creating a Device". You will also need

to have access to an appropriate patch upgrade file for your device.

Click on the

button on the Operations Selection Pane. This will

display the Patch Upgrade pane.

Next, locate the upgrade file you will be using by clicking the

button. After you have

located and selected your file, click on the

option. Check the

checkbox.

Enter the address of the server where the file is located. Make sure you enter the correct
address format. If you have an HTTP server, you should enter a URL address. If you have a
TFTP server, enter an IP Address.

Now, select the devices you will be applying the update to. In the "Available Devices" list

box, you should see the IP Addresses of the devices you added a while ago and for which

the selected patch is applicable to. Select one of those entries and click on the

button. The IP Address that you selected should now appear in the "Selected Devices"
list box.

To start the upgrade process, click on the

button.

NOTE:


Upgrading and rebooting a device will make that device unavailable for the duration of the operation. Make sure that you

notify the appropriate groups or people that will be affected before proceeding.
