Q. How do I upgrade the firmware of the switch via TFTP?
A. Complete these steps in order to upgrade the switch firmware via TFTP:
Check the model and version number at the back of the switch.
Note: If there is no hardware version displayed beside the model number, the device is considered version 1.
Go to Cisco Software Center (registered customers only) . Cisco recommends that you perform all firmware upgrades on your local network, not remotely.
Note: You need a registered account to login. If you do not already have one, please register at Cisco.com.
