CAUTION:
■
If available space on the Flash memory of the switch is not enough to hold the
file to be uploaded, you need to delete files not in use from the Flash memory
to make room for the file, and then upload the file again. The files in use
cannot be deleted. If you have to delete the files in use to make room for the
file to be uploaded, you can only delete/download them through the Boot
ROM menu.
■
3Com series switch is not shipped with FTP client application software. You
need to purchase and install it by yourself.
3 Configure Switch A (FTP server)
# After uploading the application, use the boot boot-loader command to specify
the uploaded file ( switch.bin ) to be the startup file used when the switch starts
the next time, and restart the switch. Thus the switch application is upgraded.
<4210> boot boot-loader switch.bin
<4210> reboot
