This section includes information about NETBuilder software version 11.1
NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities. Upgrade Link is a graphical
interface-based application designed to simplify upgrading the NETBuilder
bridge/router operating software.
The NETBuilder software version 11.1 NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities
support upgrades from NETBuilder bridge/routers running version 8.x through
11.0.1. If you need to upgrade from version 7.x to 11.1, you need to perform the
upgrade in two steps. The first step requires upgrading from 7.x to 9.3.1. After the
NETBuilder bridge/router configuration files have been converted to 9.3.1, they
can then be further upgraded to support the 11.1 release. The 9.3.1 Remote
Upgrade Utilities and manual are available on the 3Com InfoDeli website.
