CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT

Downloading System Software

System software updates can be downloaded either in-band via TFTP Protocol or out-of-band through the console port. Downloading software via TFTP is substantially faster than serial downloading through the console port. After either type of file transfer, the switch will automatically restart.

Downloading via TFTP Protocol

In order to use this method, there must be an available TFTP server which is IP accessible from the switch.
