NETGEAR Discover How to Upload Files with Gigabit Smart Switch Models

GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

Upload a File from the Switch

The switch supports system file uploads from the switch to a remote system by using either TFTP or HTTP.

Upload File Types

The following types of files can be uploaded from the switch:

•Archive. The archive is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash sectors called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy and the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active image. If the active image is corrupt, the system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade process.

•Text Configuration. You can edit a text-based configuration file (startup-config) offline as needed without having to translate the contents for the switch to understand. The most common usage of text-based configuration is to download a working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for another similar device (for example, change the device name, IP address), and upload it to that device.

•Buffered Log. SYSLOG files.

The Upload menu contains links that provide access to the features described in the following sections:

•TFTP File Upload

•HTTP File Upload

TFTP File Upload

Use the TFTP File Upload screen to upload configuration (ASCII), log (ASCII), and image (binary) files from the switch to a TFTP server on the network.
