Upgrade Procedure:

  1. Download the new firmware 1.0.1.21 from NETGEAR product support Website and store it in local PC, and remember its location in the PC’s file system. Then unzip it to get the switch image of .rom format.
  2. There are three methods to upgrade the new firmware from PC to the switch.
    1. HTTP
    2. TFTP
    3. SCC (Smart Control Center)
      Below are the steps to upgrade the firmware via HTTP, which is the most convenient method. For the other methods, please check the IG and SW User Manual for details.
  3. To use HTTP method, go to GUI page “Maintenance > File Management > Dual Image > Dual Image Status”, find the backup (next-active) image.
  4. Suppose the backup-image is image1, then go to “Maintenance > Download > HTTP File Download”, set File Type as ‘Code’, set Image Name as ‘Image1’, select the firmware file of .rom format stored in local PC via Browser button, then click Apply button to start firmware downloading.

  5. Go to GUI page “Maintenance > File Management > Dual Image > Dual Image Status”, to double check the latest image is correctly downloaded to image1 and image1 is the ‘next-active’ image. If not, go back to step 3 to download the switch image again.
  6. Go to GUI page ‘Maintenance > Reset > Device Reboot’, check the checkbox then click Apply button. The restart may take several minutes, do not power cycle or reboot the switch before the process is complete.
  7. After the switch is restarted, login the switch to double check whether the FW is upgraded correctly, via GUI page of “GUI page System > Management > System Information”.
