Chapter 20: Management Software Updates

210

Overview

You can use the Management Software Updates features to upgrade the
AT-S101 Management Software to a new version, upload a configuration
file from the AT-GS950/8POE switch onto an a PC, or download an image
or configuration file from the switch onto an a PC.

There are two methods to upgrade the AT-S101 Management Software:

ˆ

using a web browser via HTTP

ˆ

using a TFTP server

To upgrade a firmware image using HTTP, you only need to have access
to an Internet browser. However, to upgrade a firmware image using
TFTP, you must have access to an TFTP server.

In addition, you can save a configuration file from one switch and load it
onto another switch or onto all of your AT-GS950/8POE switches. This
ensures identical configurations on all of your switches. In addition,
loading an existing configuration saves time.
