TFTP Services

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the Switch firmware to be upgraded by downloading a new firmware file from a TFTP server to the Switch. A configuration file can also be loaded into the Switch, and switch settings can be saved to a TFTP server. In addition, the Switch’s history log can be uploaded from the Switch to a TFTP server.

Please note that TFTP server software must be running on the management station for the TFTP services listed here to work.
