   Download Link : http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS724TPv2/GS724TPv2_V1.1.1.13.zip

2. There are four methods to upgrade the new firmware from PC to the switch.
   • HTTP
   • TFTP
   • SCC (Smart Control Center)

   Below are the steps to upgrade the firmware via HTTP, which is the most convenient method. For the other two methods, please check the IG and SW User Manual for details.

3. To use HTTP method, go to GUI page “Maintenance > Download > HTTP File Download”. Suppose Current-active image is image 1 and we want to download new firmware to image 2, setting File Type as ‘Archive’, Image Name as Image2 and select the firmware file ‘GS724TPv2_V1.1.1.13.rom’ stored in local PC via Browser button, then click Apply button to start firmware downloading.

   

   The download will take several minutes. Do not power cycle the switch before and the success message shows up as below.

   

4. After the successful file downloading, go to GUI page “Maintenance > File Management > Dual Image > Dual Image Configuration’.
   • If the current-active image is ‘image1’, set Image Name as ‘Image2’.
   • Check and ‘Active Image’ checkbox.
   • Then click ‘Apply’ button.

     

5. Go to GUI page “Maintenance > File Management > Dual Image > Dual Image Status’, to double check ‘Next-active’ image is version 1.1.1.13. If not, go back to step 4 and reconfigure the correct active image.

   

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”.
