Verifying the Device for Restoring
Before restoring, you should run the diagnostic utility in Upgrade Link to verify
connectivity to the bridge/router or switch by following these steps:
1 Choose a device from the pop-up list in the Console page, or click New to enter
the IP address or hostname. The pop-up list contains bridge/routers that you have
upgraded or backed-up before.
2 Select Verify Upgrade Services (Diagnose) then click Apply.
A Status window appears showing the results of the diagnostic tests.
3 If the Status window shows a failure, check the SNMP read/write community
string for TFTP file transfer permissions.
If the Status window shows a success, click Home to continue with the
restoration.
