Downloading Via TFTP

To perform a TFTP download, you must first configure the VH-8G switch. This consists of programming the switch with an IP address, if this has not already been done, and entering the IP address of the TFTP server and the name of the upgrade file. To program the switch IP address, select the Management Setup Menu from the Main Menu screen, then select Network Configuration.

To download switch software via TFTP, do the following:

1.Select Download Server IP Address from the TFTP Download Menu.

2.Enter the TFTP server IP address and press [Enter].

3.Select Download Filename and enter the file name to be downloaded from the TFTP server.

For a TFTP download, the path to the file must be included in its name. For example, if the upgrade file name is filename.bin and it resides in the directory /usr/tftp on the TFTP server, then you must enter the TFTP file name as: “/usr/tftp/filename.bin”.

4.If necessary, configure the address of an IP gateway to reach the server from the switch using the Gateway IP field in the Network Configuration: IP Configuration menu.

5.Configure the TFTP server by copying the download file from the upgrade disk to an appropriate directory and starting the server.

6.Select Process TFTP Download and press [Enter].

To verify that the TFTP download has been successfully completed, note the software version level displayed on the Switch Information screen accessible from the System Information Menu. This number should match the version number that appears on the upgrade disk.
