Downloading Firmware Images to the Fabric Interconnect from a Remote Location
In a cluster setup, the image file for the firmware bundle is downloaded to both fabric interconnects,
regardless of which fabric interconnect is used to initiate the download. Cisco UCS Manager maintains
all firmware packages and images in both fabric interconnects in sync. If one fabric interconnect is down,
the download still finishes successfully. The images are synced to the other fabric interconnect when it
comes back online.

The protocol to use when communicating with the remote server. This
can be one of the following:
• FTP
• TFTP
• SCP
• SFTP
TFTP has a file size limitation of 32 MB. Because firmware
bundles can be much larger than that, we recommend that you
do not choose TFTP for firmware downloads.
Note
Protocol field
If the file came from a remote server, this is the IP address or hostname
of the remote server on which the files resides. If the file came from a
local source, this field displays "local".
If you use a hostname rather than an IP address, you must
configure a DNS server in Cisco UCS Manager.
