Switch B

Switch A

A switch operates as an FTP server and a remote PC as an FTP client.

Configure the IP address of VLAN-interface 1 on the switch as 1.1.1.1/16, and that of the PC as 2.2.2.2/16. Ensure that the switch and PC can reach each other.

Create an FTP user with the username switch and the password hello on the FTP server.

An application named switch.bin is stored on the PC. The PC uploads the application to the switch through FTP to implement switch application upgrade.

The PC downloads the configuration file config.cfg from the switch for backup.
