Customizing and Managing the BayStack Switches

Upgrading Switch Software Through TFTP Connection

Software upgrades are provided by Bay Networks in the form of image files that you can download into the flash memory of your BayStack switches. Upgrades can be incorporated into your BayStack switches by using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) through a network connection from a networked PC or UNIX workstation acting as a TFTP file server.

Operating as a TFTP client, the BayStack switches can open a TFTP session with a TFTP server to download the new software. To initiate the TFTP session and download the necessary software images, follow these steps:

1.Type 3 to select Reset System from the Main Menu.

The Reset System selection performs a soft reset of the switch and runs power-up diagnostics. During this time, the Power Up Self Test screen is displayed (see Figure 3-5).
