Case 9. Upgrading the Firmware of Paragon Switches 
Purpose: To upgrade Paragon II switches and benefit from recent 
enhancements to the Paragon product line. (Please note the description 
herein refers to regular firmware upgrade and does not apply to “special” 
firmware upgrade which involves the boot loader or failsafe feature.) 
1.  Verify that the Main Switching Unit (Main Unit) is connected to the 
network, and relevant network settings, such as the IP address, are 
configured properly. 
See 
Case 1. Setting the Network Configuration
 (on page xi) for 
details. 
2.  (Optional) If there has been any Stacking Unit connected to the Main 
Unit, keep them attached and turned on. For example, you may 
upgrade one P2-UMT832M (Main Unit) and three P2-UMT832S 
(Stacking Units) which are connected to it altogether. Also verify the 
following Stacking-related settings: 
  The “Stacking Support” setting in the Main Unit is appropriate. 
  The value of the “Set Stack ID” setting in every connected 
Stacking Unit is unique.
