Updating firmware of network components
We generally recommend that you update the firmware of network components (switches).
The feasibility of such an update must be checked for each individual plant configuration.
Because the switches of most manufacturers need to be restarted following a firmware
update, you must ensure that this restart will not put safe plant operation at risk.
Example: SCALANCE XC-200
You can perform the firmware update of a SCALANCE XC-200 using Web Based
Management, for example. You can find information on firmware updates using Web Based
Management in manual: "SIMATIC NET: Industrial Ethernet Switches SCALANCE XB-
200/XC-200/ XF-200BA/XP-200/XR-300WG Web Based Management"
