CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

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.
