Table 8-2.
Table 8-2. Update Software, field/settings descriptions
Field/Option Description
URL The URL from which you want to check for software upgrade availability, or download
a new version.
By default, this field contains the location of an HP ProCurve FTP server site where
upgrade images are stored. If you clear the field and don‘t enter a different URL, the
system will use the default URL.
If you know that a software update is available on another site you may also
download from a TFTP or HTTP server. See —Support for Alternate Download Sites“
on page 8-8 for more information on alternate download features.
The default URL to get the latest software from HP is:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/700software/ambit4-hp or
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/700software/ambit4-am-hp
for an Access Controller
Key The key is a password that allows you to download and use the 700wl Series system
software.
Restart using updated
software when finished
downloading
Check this to specify that the system should be restarted automatically using the
newly-downloaded software. The default is not to do an automatic restart.
Proxy Select Enabled to go through a proxy server, as configured in the fields that follow. A
proxy service enables you to download the new image through an enterprise firewall.
Select Disabled if you do not use a proxy service.
Host IP The IP address of the proxy server
Port The port number of the proxy service. The default is 3128.
Username The username required for proxy access
Password The password required for access
Confirm Password The password, entered a second time for confirmation
If you use a proxy service, you can save the proxy server settings so you do not need to enter them every
time to do an upgrade.
» To save your proxy settings, click Save Proxy Settings.
Checking for Upgrade Availability
To check for the availability of an upgrade on the HP ProCurve download site, do the following:
Step 1. Fill in the fields as appropriate. If you want to check for upgrades from the default HP ProCurve
download FTP site, you can leave all fields as they are.
You do not need to enter a key to check for upgrade availability. (However, entering the key
enables you to download the upgrade immediately if an upgrade is available.)
