Using Lifecycle Controller, you can update
the firmware by using downloads.dell.com, when you are connected
to the Internet through a proxy server.
Before performing an update using a proxy FTP server, make sure that
the following prerequisites are met:
The network settings are configured (Settings > Network Settings).
The updates are downloaded using the Dell
Repository Manager, and the repository is created on an
internal FTP server.
The proxy server supports either HTTP or SOCKS4 protocols.
Information related to proxy server such as IP address
or host name of the proxy server, login credentials, and the port
number are readily available.
NOTE: Lifecycle
Controller does not support CCproxy. It supports only Squid proxy.
