FirmwareUpdate with MacOS

[ThHofer]

Hi, I want to make a Firmware-Update;

but I don't have a Windows-Computer, just only MacOs.

Is it - hand how - is it possible to make a Update?

The manual that @TheEther linked to seems to be explains this, but maybe it is a little unlcear from those instructions in the manual.

1. Download the firmware file first from support.netgear.com
2. Navigate to: "Maintenance" --> "Download" --> and select "HTTP" button.
3. A "Browse" button should appear where you can browse to the file you just downloaded on your computer and select it.

Hi,

What type of switch do you have?

[TheEther]

You can upgrade the firmware via TFTP as well as by browser.  Consult the manual.

I read the instructions,

but I don't know, what the adresses of TFTP or HTTP, Filename, ... is...

Are you able to log into the switch with a browser? If you've never logged in, then the default address is 192.168.0.239. You may need to change the IP address on your Mac to a suitable one in order to log in. The manual also describes how to do this.

Here is a different manual but it should be similar:

Hi Hopchen,

thank you for your hint;

I didn't click on "http".

Now it works!

No problem. Glad you got it sorted 🙂
