Manually check for new switch firmware and
update the switch
You can manually check for the latest firmware version, download the firmware, and
upload it to the switch. If firmware release notes are available with new firmware, read
the release notes to find out if you must reconfigure the switch after updating.
To manually check for new switch firmware and update the switch:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.

The FIRMWARE page displays. The page also shows the UPDATE FIRMWARE section.

If new firmware is available, download the firmware file to your computer.
