Step 1: Download Manifest file and Validation

Note

Note

While the simplified upgrade is in progress, CLI commands or SNMP set-requests that initiate a TFTP download are rejected.

When you issue the copy tftp system command using the manifest parameter, the first step the system performs is to download the digital signature file associated with the manifest file, download the manifest file and perform a signature check. This ensures the manifest file download is indeed created by Extreme, and not modified by others.
