You can manage a directory of IOS images hosted on the current server from the Firmware tab of the Configuration Management page.

To specify a folder to host IOS images:

The specified folder will be on the machine on which Entuity is hosted. You can specify the folder in the entuity.cfg file under <hostname>/etc/entuity.cfg:

[lcm]
firmwareFilepath=<path to the folder>
firmwareSubfolder=true

To upload an IOS image:

You can specify the maximum size (in MB) of the file permitted to be uploaded with Upload Image through the [lcm] section of entuity.cfg:

[lcm]
firmwareUploadMaxSizeMB=1024

Note, attempting to upload an IOS image larger than the firmwareUploadMaxSizeMB default value of 1024 MB might cause the image upload to fail.

1. Navigate to the Firmware tab of the Configuration Management page.
2. Click Upload Image at the top of the page, or via the Overflow Menu.
   
   
    
3. From the Upload Image form that is displayed, select the file, or (from Entuity v23 upwards) multiple files, that you want to upload.
   
   
   
    
4. Root Directory As Parent Folder - specify whether to upload the image directly to the Root Directory. 
   If disabled, you can specify the Parent Folder to which you will upload the image.
   
   
    
5. Click the Advanced Settings field to access the Advanced form, from which you can specify the Chunk Size (MB). 
6. On the Advanced form, enter a value between 1 and 100 (inclusive), the default being 12. 
   Note, this allows you to change the amount of data to be sent with every request. A higher number decreases the number of requests sent to the server, but increases the amount of processing and memory needed on the client web browser.
   
   
    
7. Click Done on the Advanced form to save your changes and return to the Upload Image form. Otherwise, click Cancel.
8. Click Done on the Upload Image form to start the image upload process. Otherwise, click Cancel.

To edit an IOS image:

These attributes are stored in the 'properties' file in the same folder as the images. This lets multiple Entuity installations access the attributes.

1. Navigate to the Firmware tab of the Configuration Management page.
2. From the table, select a file and click Edit Image Details at the topof the tab (or from the Overflow Menu or right-click Context Menu).
3. The Edit Image Details form is displayed, from which you can edit the following details:
   • File Path - read only. This is the file path of the selected image.
   • Description - User-specified description.
   • Version - user-specified version.
   • MD5 - user-specified MD5.
   • Type Filter - regex to filter the devices' type.
   • Model Filter - regex to filter the devices' model.
4. Click Done to save your changes. Otherwise, click Cancel.

To download an IOS image:

2. From the table, select a file, or files, and click Download Images at the top of the tab (or from the Overflow Menu or right-click Context Menu).
