HP Switch firmware update

To update via telnet,
- setup a TFTP server.  I used Solarwinds TFTP
- place firmware file at the TFTP's root
- telnet into the switch


2 ways from here,


1. - use the commands,
        copy tftp flash TFTPSERVERIP FILENAME.swi primary
        reload


2. - type menu
   - use arrows to go down to Download OS
   - enter the IP of the TFTP server
   - enter the filename of the file you placed at the TFTP server's root
   - execute
