TFTP Services

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the Switch’s firmware to be upgraded by transferring a new firmware file from a TFTP server to the Switch or vice versa. Use the pull-down menu to select the service to be completed. Download Firmware is used to transfer a firmware file from an outside source to the Switch using the TFTP Protocol. Download Configuration is used to transfer a configuration file from an outside source to the Switch using the TFTP Protocol. Upload Configuration is used to transfer a configuration file from the Switch to an outside source using the TFTP Protocol. Upload Log is used to transfer the Switch’s log file from the Switch to an outside source using the TFTP Protocol. Once the user has selected an operation to perform, enter the Server IP Address and the path of the filename in use and click Start to initiate the file transfer. To view this window, click Administration > TFTP Services

Ping Test

Ping is a small program that sends ICMP Echo packets to the IP address you specify. The destination node then responds to or "echoes" the packets sent from the Switch. This is very useful to verify connectivity between the Switch and other nodes on the network. To view this window, click Administration > Ping

Figure 6- 19. Ping Test

The user may use Infinite times radio button, in the Repeat Pinging for: field, which will tell the ping program to keep sending ICMP Echo packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific number of times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number between 1 and 255. The user can also choose a Time Out for the ping, which will terminate the ping request if no response packet has returned to the Switch in the allotted time. Click Start to initiate the Ping program.
