You can manage a directory of IOS images hosted on the current server via the Firmware tab under 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:

Note, from Entuity v21.0 P01 upwards, you can specify the maximum size (in MB) of the file permitted to be uploaded via Upload Image through the [lcm] section of entuity.cfg:

[lcm]
firmwareUploadMaxSizeMB=1024

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. The Upload Image form will open on the right of the page.
   
   
   
   
4. Select the file that you want to upload.
5. In the Advanced Settings, you can specify the Chunk Size (MB). This must be 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 will decrease the number of request sent to the server, but will increase the amount of processing and memory needed on the client web browser.
   
   
   
   
6. Click Done to save your changes, otherwise click Cancel.

5. Description - User-specified description.
6. Version - user-specified version.
7. MD5 - user-specified MD5.
8. Type Filter - regex to filter the devices' type.
