Introduction to Loading Modes

The switch software consists of Boot ROM software (.btm) and host software (.bin). You can load both
the two types of software through the approaches displayed in

Table 5-1

Table 5-1

Section

Loading Software Using XMODEM Through Console Port

Loading Software Using TFTP through Ethernet Port

Loading files through the Boot ROM
menu

Loading Software Using FTP Through Ethernet Port

Loading Software Using FTP

Loading files through the CLI

Loading Software Using TFTP

The Boot ROM software version must match the host software version when you load the Boot ROM
and host software.

Loading Software Through the Boot ROM Menu

If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load Boot ROM and host software locally
through the Boot ROM menu.

Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the switch to insure
successful software loading.
