Firmware Upgrade:
The MGS3600-24F uses HTTP to upgrade firmware in run-time through its built-in HTTP
server. You can use any Browser (for example IE Windows) to upgrade MGS3600-24F. The
upgrade procedure is as follows:

Upgrade MGS3600-24F FW:

Firmware
This section describes how to upgrade Firmware. The Switch can be
enhanced with more value-added functions by installing firmware upgrades.

Firmware Upgrade
This page facilitates an update of the firmware controlling the

Switch.

Web Interface
To configure a Firmware Upgrade Configuration in the web interface:
1. Chick Browser to select firmware in you device.
2. Click Upload.

Figure 5-2.1:

The Firmware update

Parameter description:

Browse :
Click the Browse... button to search the Firmware URL and filename.

Upload:
Click the Upload button then the switch will start to upload the firmware from
firmware stored location PC or Server.

NOTE: This page facilitates an update of the firmware

controlling the stack. switch. Uploading software will
update all managed switches in the stack to the location
of a software image and click. After the software image is
uploaded, a page announces that the firmware update is
initiated. After about a minute, the firmware is updated
and all managed switches in the stack restart. the switch
restarts.

WARNING: While the firmware is being updated, Web

access appears to be defunct. The front LED flashes
Green/Off with a frequency of 10 Hz while the firmware
update is in progress. Do not restart or power off the
device at this time or the switch may fail to function
afterwards.

5-2.2 Firmware Selection

Due to the switch supports Dual image for firmware redundancy purpose.
You can select what firmware image for your device start firmware or
operating firmware. This page provides information about the active and
alternate (backup) firmware images in the device, and allows you to revert
to the alternate image.

Web Interface
To configure a Firmware Selection in the web interface:
1. Chick Activate Alternate Image.
2. Click yes to complete firmware selection.
Figure 5-2.2:

The Firmware Selection

Parameter description:

Activate Alternate Image :

Click to use the alternate image. This button may be disabled depending on system
state.

Cancel:
Cancel activating the backup image. Navigates away from this page.

Image :
The flash index name of the firmware image. The name of primary (preferred)
image is image, the alternate image is named image.bk.

Version :
The version of the firmware image.

Date :
The date where the firmware was produced.

NOTE:
1. In case the active firmware image is the alternate
image, only the "Active Image" table is shown. In this
case, the Activate Alternate Image button is also
disabled.
2. If the alternate image is active (due to a corruption of the
primary image or by manual intervention), uploading a new
firmware image to the device will automatically use the
primary image slot and activate this.
3. The firmware version and date information may be empty for
older firmware releases. This does not constitute an error.
