Update the firmware on the switch
The switch firmware does not update automatically, so you must update it manually.
You can manually check for the latest firmware version, download the firmware, and
upload it to the switch.
CAUTION: Always read the release notes before updating the switch's firmware.
To manually check for new switch firmware and update the switch:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
A login window opens.
