The command you are looking for is:
rpm -Fvh *.rpm
This is from the man page of rpm:
rpm {-F|--freshen} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
This will upgrade packages, but only if an earlier version
currently exists. The PACKAGE_FILE may be specified as an
ftp or http URL, in which case the package will be down�
loaded before being installed.
but be carefully, because you can have problems with kernel packages.
The kernel packages must be installed with -ivh option (I believe, but I
can't remember exactly now, please correct me if necessary).
If it is correct, you must put your kernel packages in a different
folder to allow a different install command.
