Configuring & Monitoring the Switch 73
Downloading Via TFTP
To perform a TFTP download, you must first configure the
ELS100-S24TX2M switch. This consists of programming the switch with
an IP address, if this has not already been done, and entering the IP
address of the TFTP server and the name of the upgrade file. To program
the switch IP address, select the Management Setup Menu from the Main
Menu screen, then select Network Configuration.
To download switch software via TFTP, do the following:
1. Select Download Server IP Address from the TFTP Download Menu.
2. Enter the TFTP server IP address and press [Enter].
3. Select Download Filename and enter the file name to be downloaded
from the TFTP server.
4. If necessary, configure the address of an IP gateway to reach the
server from the switch using the Gateway IP field in the Network
Configuration: IP Configuration menu.
5. Configure the TFTP server by copying the download file from the
upgrade disk to an appropriate directory and starting the server.
6. Select Process TFTP Download and press [Enter].
To verify that the TFTP download has been successfully completed,
note the software version level displayed on the Switch Information
screen accessible from the System Information Menu. This number
should match the version number that appears on the upgrade disk.
For a TFTP download, the path to the file must be included in
its name. For example, if the upgrade file name is
filename.bin and it resides in the directory /usr/tftp on the
TFTP server, then you must enter the TFTP file name as:
“/usr/tftp/filename.bin”.
