This process can also be used to update new software to the managed MultiLink switches. Before the software is updated, it is advised to save the configurations. Reloading of the configuration is not usually necessary, but in certain situations it may be needed, and it is recommended that you save configurations before a software update. Make sure to reboot the switch after a new configuration is loaded.

The file transfer operations allowed are:

1.Image Download (or Image Upload): Copy the ML1200 image from switch to the server (or from the server to the switch). The “Image Upload” option is commonly used to upgrade the ML1200 image on the switch.

2.Config Download (or Config Upload): Save the configuration of the switch on the server (or load the saved configuration from the server to the switch). This option is used to save a backup of the ML1200 configuration or restore the configuration (in case of a disaster.)

3.Script Download (or Script Upload): Save the necessary CLI commands used for configuration of the switch (or upload the necessary CLI commands needed to configure the switch). This option is used to ease the repetitive task of configuring multiple commands or reviewing all the commands needed to configure the ML1200.

4.Host Download (or Host Upload): Save the host information. The hosts are created by the Configuration - Access - Host commands

5.Log Upload - Save the log file on the ftp/tftp server
