Firmware Upgrade
The application software for the FS728TP Smart Switch is upgradeable, enabling your switch
to take advantage of improvements and additional features as they become available. The
upgrade procedure and the required equipment are described in this section. This procedure
assumes that you have downloaded or otherwise obtained the firmware upgrade and that you
have it available as a binary file on your computer. This procedure uses the TFTP protocol to
implement the transfer from computer to switch.
Note: You can also upgrade the firmware using the TFTP Download and
HTTP Download features mentioned in this book. See
HTTP File
Upload on page 217.
To upgrade your firmware:
1. Click the Maintenance tab, and then click the Firmware link directly below the tabs (see
Figure 1 on page 13).
2. Select the switch to upgrade and click Download Firmware.
By default, the firmware is downloaded to primary storage and will be become the active
image after the download completes and the switch reboots. To download firmware to
use as a backup image, select the Secondary Storage option. To prevent the switch
from using the downloaded firmware as the active image, make sure the Run this FW
after download option is clear.
Note: NETGEAR recommends that you download the same image as the
primary and secondary image for redundancy.
3. From the Select new firmware window that appears, navigate to and select the firmware
image to download to the switch.
