When to Use

To perform the following:

Download a new firmware image file from a TFTP server to the device,

Download a configuration file from a TFTP server to the device, or

Upload the configuration file from the device to a TFTP server.

NOTE: You can also force an image download by changing the position of Switch 6 located inside the device. Use this as a last resort as it involves removing the cover from the device. If it is necessary to set Switch 6, refer to your device installation/user’s guide for instructions on how to remove the device cover and set Switch 6.

Using FLASH DOWNLOAD CONFIGURATION does not affect the current IP and subnet mask.

Before downloading an image to the device, copy the image to the network TFTP server.

NOTE: For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP server, refer to the specific workstation documentation or contact support on the web at:

www.enterasys.com/support/ or refer to Tech Bulletin TK0020-9 (http://www.enterasys.com/support/techtips/tk0020-9.html)
