Software Updates

The switch is capable of obtaining its boot-time configuration information, as well as updated versions of its internal firmware, using TFTP (the Trivial File Transfer Protocol) and BOOTP (the BOOTstrap Protocol). You can use the Software Update menu to control this feature.

The fields you can set on this menu are:

♦Software Update Determines whether or not the switch will try to look for a configuration file over the network. If set to Disable, none of the fields below have any effect.

♦Software Update Mode Set to either Network or Out-of-band. Determines whether configuration file should be obtained through the Ethernet network or through the console port.

♦Boot Protocol Set to either TFTP ONLY or BOOTP&TFTP. Applies only if the S/W Update Control is enabled.
