The Assign Firmware window allows you to assign a firmware or boot PROM image to one or more product families or device types. This enables you to download the assigned image to any of your network devices of that family or type, using the Firmware Upgrade Wizard or the Boot PROM Upgrade Wizard.
The Firmware Mgmt tab displays firmware and boot PROM images grouped according to product family and device type. Inventory Manager provides pre-defined firmware groups and automatically organizes the images stored in your firmware directory under the appropriate group when you perform a firmware discovery or refresh. The Unknown folder contains images that Inventory Manager could not correlate to a device type. Use the Assign Firmware window to assign those images to the correct device type(s).
| TIP: | To quickly assign multiple firmware images to a single product family or device type,
select the images in a
right-panel Details View and drag them into the appropriate left-panel folder. |
