When it's time to update the firmware, it's important to know how to do it. There are a few different ways to update the firmware. In this article, we will describe three widely used methods:
#Firmware update through the '''WebUI'''
#Firmware update through the '''RMS'''
#Firmware update through the '''command line interface (CLI)'''
All three methods can be applied to all our manageable networking devices, including '''RUTs, TRBs, and managed switches'''.

During the update process, your device will appear offline in RMS because it will be rebooting. The device may be unreachable for up to 1-2 minutes.

To update the firmware file, you first need to upload the firmware file to your networking device. You can do this using any application designed for this purpose. For example, if you are using a Windows computer, you can use WinSCP. You can download WinSCP from [https://winscp.net/eng/download.php here], launch it, select SCP as the File protocol and login to the networking device (the login process is basically the same as when using PuTTY). Then locate the tmp directory and drag the firmware file inside it (just like you copy/move any other file using Windows).
