Cabletron Systems ESXMIM-F2 User Manual

If you select Runtime download, perform the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Reboot After Download field.

2. Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE to select one of the following:

•

YES, if you want the ESXMIM to reboot and use the new 
firmware image immediately.

•

NO, if you want the ESXMIM to continue using the existing 
firmware image without interrupting network operation. The 
ESXMIM stores the new firmware image in FLASH memory. 
When you reset the ESXMIM, it boots from FLASH memory 
using the new image.

Directly below the Download Method and Reboot After Download/
Commit to Flash toggle fields are the Download Server and Download 
File display and input fields. The Download Server input field contains 
the IP address of the server that the ESXMIM will request a firmware 
image from. By default, the Download Server field will display the last 
IP address used for a firmware download. If the same server is to be used 
to perform the current download, no changes need to be made to the 
Download Server input field.

The Download File input field contains the file name of the firmware 
image to be downloaded and the access path used to locate it on the 
server. By default, the Download File input field will display the last 
firmware image filename and path used to perform a download to this 
ESXMIM. If there have been no changes to the server or the file name and 
path, these defaults can be used without changes being required.
