HTTP File Download

Use the HTTP File Download screen to download files of various types to the switch using an HTTP session (for example, via your Web browser).

To download a file to the switch by using HTTP:

1. Select Maintenance > Download > HTTP File Download.

2.From the File Type menu, specify what type of file you want to download to 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; while the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade process.

•Text Configuration. A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured text 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 upload a working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for another similar device (for example, change the device name, serial number, IP address), and download it to that device.

•SSL Trusted Root Certificate PEM File. SSL Trusted Root Certificate File (PEM Encoded).

•SSL Server Certificate PEM File. SSL Server Certificate File (PEM Encoded).

•SSL DH Weak Encryption Parameter PEM File. SSL Diffie-Hellman Weak Encryption Parameter File (PEM Encoded).

•SSL DH Strong Encryption Parameter PEM File. SSL Diffie-Hellman Strong Encryption Parameter File (PEM Encoded).

3.If you are downloading an XS712T image (Archive), select the image on the switch to overwrite from the Image Name field.

This field is only visible when Archive is selected as the File Type.
