How to Push Local Firmware to the Server

The Push Local Firmware to Server window gives a remote client the ability to send a local firmware or boot PROM image to the NetSight Server. This allows a remote client to download a firmware image from the download library website, and then push the firmware to the server where it can be used in Inventory Manager operations such as firmware and boot PROM upgrades.

  1. Select Tools > Push Local Firmware to Server. The Select Local Firmware File window opens where you can navigate to the file you want to send. Select the file and click Open. The Push Local Firmware to Server window opens.
  2. In the window, you can view the path to the local file you have selected to send, and the following information:
    • Server - The name of the server the client is connected to.
    • Server Path - The path to the server's TFTP or FTP firmware directory, depending on what option you have selected. You can extend the path to a different folder in the directory, if desired.
    • File Name - The name of the firmware or boot PROM file being pushed to the server.
  3. Select the TFTP or FTP Firmware Directory option depending on whether you want to store the firmware in the FTP or TFTP firmware directory on the server.
  4. Select the Refresh Firmware checkbox if you want to perform a firmware discovery following the operation, and update the firmware listed in your Firmware Mgmt tab.
  5. Click Send to send the image to the server.
