Managing Firmware
You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server. By
saving runtime code to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be
downloaded to the switch to restore operation.
Command Attributes
•TFTP Server IP Address – The IP address of a TFTP server.
•Destination File Name –
The file name should not contain
slashes (\ or /),
the leading letter of the file name should not
be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the
TFTP server is 127 characters or 31 characters for files on the
switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
Note: Only one copy of the system software (i.e., the runtime
firmware) can be stored in the file directory on the switch.
The system software file cannot be deleted.
Downloading System Software from a Server
When downloading runtime code, you must select “Destination
File Name” to replace the current image. This switch can only
contain one operation code file.
