Introduction

This document outlines the procedure for upgrading the boot ﬁrmware for the Bay Networks™ BayStack™ 100-series network management module (NMM).

If you are using the version 1.5 agent for the BayStack 100-series NMM, revision D boot ﬁrmware is necessary to enable the following feature upgrades:

• Conﬁguration menu passwords

• SmartSwap™

For information about these and other features of BayStack 100-series hubs and NMMs, refer to the following Bay Networks publications:

This feature allows you to designate read-only and read-write passwords for access to the NMM conﬁguration menus through the communications port. This feature prevents intentional and unintentional conﬁguration changes by unauthorized users.

This feature enables an NMM to reconﬁgure a new hub to assume the conﬁguration of the hub it replaces in a managed stack of 100-series hubs.
