NOTE

Download Server IP and Download Server Filename are displayed only when TFTP or RUNTIME is selected in Download Method.

The following briefly explains each field of the Flash Download screen:

Download Method (Selectable)

This field steps to BOOTP, TFTP, and RUNTIME. If set for BootP, the device sends out a BootP request to determine the IP address of the TFTP server and the file name of the image to be downloaded. If set for TFTP or RUNTIME, the 2E4X-27 attempts a TFTP download based on the IP address and file name entered in the fields at the bottom of the Flash Download screen. Section 5.16.1 describes how to download using BootP. Section 5.16.2 describes how to download using TFTP. Section 5.16.3 describes how to download using Runtime.

Reboot After Download (Modifiable only when RUNTIME is chosen)

This field notifies the user that the 2E4X-27 will reboot after the download is complete. If a Runtime Download is performed, this field toggles between YES and NO. If YES is selected, the device reboots after the download is completed. If NO is selected, the device continues using the existing firmware image and stores the new firmware image in FLASH memory. When the device is reset or during the next power-up, the device will boot from FLASH memory using the new image.

TFTP Gateway IP Addr (Selectable)

This field shows the IP address of the TFTP gateway server defined in the General Configuration screen in Section 5.7.4, Setting the TFTP Gateway IP Address.

Last Image Server IP (Read-only)

This field shows the IP address of the server used for the previous FLASH Download.

Last Image File Name (Read-only)
