FSM726v2 Fimware Version 1.2.5_1016

This firmware can be used on both FSM726 V2H1 & FSM726 V2H2.

Bug Fixes

  1. Fixed: If one tries to manage FSM726v2 using the Web management interface via an unstable connection (eg. through a wireless router), it could cause the WEB interface to freeze.

Selecting How to Upgrade

A version of switch firmware is stored in non-volatile memory, while another version is stored in regular memory.

The "Net" option, which is used in these Release Note instructions, lets you try the new firmware in regular memory without overwriting the old one in non-volatile memory. This way it's easy to recover if you have a problem with the new firmware.

The "Net & Save" option overwrites both versions with the new firmware.

The "Last Saved" option erases the new firmware, and replaces it with the old firmware the next time the switch reboots.

Upgrading

The upgrade requires a TFTP server. Go to this Web site to download, if you don't have it: 
http://support.solarwinds.net/updates/New-customerFree.cfm. Follow the instructions to install it on your server.

Download and save the firmware file on a computer that has a TFTP server. The file should be in the TFTP home/root directory.
