Downloading firmware from Extreme's website

Perform the following tasks to download the firmware.

1. Extreme uploads the signed firmware as a tar file with its associated signature file (MD5) on secure location.
   

   Note

   File location and version details are provided to the customer.
2. Download and verify with the downloaded image with the appropriate file signature verification (md5sum or other MD5 checksum utility).

Note

The MD5 verification detects file transfer errors for the downloaded file and that the file is provided by Extreme Networks. However, only the embedded cryptographic signatures described in the next section provide assurance that the update is a valid firmware package from Extreme Networks.
