The following parameters are displayed:
System - File Options
Automatic Opcode Upgrade
Enables the switch to search for an upgraded operation code file during the switch bootup process.
By default, this option is disabled.
Automatic Upgrade Location URL
Defines where the switch should search for the operation code upgrade file. The last character of
this URL must be a forward slash ("/"). The .bix filename must not be included since it is
automatically appended by the switch. The available options are FTP and TFTP.
The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
• tftp:// - Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
• host - Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not recognized.
• filedir - Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root, where the upgrade file can be
found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The directory name must be separated from
the host, and in nested directory structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward
slash "/".
• / - The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp://[username[:password@]]host[/filedir]/
• ftp:// - Defines FTP protocol for the server connection.
• username - Defines the user name for the FTP connection. If the user name is omitted, then
"anonymous" is the assumed user name for the connection.
If no user name nor password is required for the connection, then the "@" character cannot be
used in the path name.
• password - Defines the password for the FTP connection. To differentiate the password from the
user name and host portions of the URL, a colon (:) must precede the password, and an "at"
symbol (@), must follow the password. If the password is omitted, then "" (an empty string) is
the assumed password for the connection.
• host - Defines the IP address of the FTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not recognized.
• filedir - Defines the directory, relative to the FTP server root, where the upgrade file can be
found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The directory name must be separated from
the host, and in nested directory structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward
slash "/".
• / - The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
Examples:
The following examples demonstrate the URL syntax for a TFTP server at IP address 192.168.0.1
with the operation code image stored in various locations:
• tftp://192.168.0.1/
The image file is in the TFTP root directory.
• tftp://192.168.0.1/switch-opcode/
The image file is in the "switch-opcode" directory, relative to the TFTP root.
• tftp://192.168.0.1/switches/opcode/
The image file is in the "opcode" directory, which is within the "switches" parent directory, relative
to the TFTP root.
The following examples demonstrate the URL syntax for an FTP server at IP address 192.168.0.1
with various user name, password and file location options presented:
• ftp://192.168.0.1/
The user name and password are empty, so "anonymous" will be the user name and the password
will be blank. The image file is in the FTP root directory.
• ftp://switches:[email protected]/
The user name is "switches" and the password is "upgrade". The image file is in the FTP root.
• ftp://switches:[email protected]/switches/opcode/
The user name is "switches" and the password is "upgrade". The image file is in the "opcode"
directory, which is within the "switches" parent directory, relative to the FTP root.
