The following briefly explains each field of the Flash Download screen:
Download Method (Selectable)
This field steps to BOOTP, TFTP, and RUNTIME. If set for BootP, the
device sends out a BootP request to determine the IP address of the TFTP
server and the file name of the image to be downloaded. If set for TFTP or
RUNTIME, the 2E4X-27 attempts a TFTP download based on the IP
address and file name entered in the fields at the bottom of the Flash
Download screen.
Section 5.16.1 describes how to download using BootP.
Section 5.16.2 describes how to download using TFTP. Section 5.16.3
describes how to download using Runtime.
Reboot After Download (Modifiable only when RUNTIME is chosen)
This field notifies the user that the 2E4X-27 will reboot after the
download is complete. If a Runtime Download is performed, this field
toggles between YES and NO. If YES is selected, the device reboots after
the download is completed. If NO is selected, the device continues using
the existing firmware image and stores the new firmware image in
FLASH memory. When the device is reset or during the next power-up,
the device will boot from FLASH memory using the new image.

This field shows the IP address of the TFTP gateway server defined in the
General Configuration screen in
Section 5.7.4 , Setting the TFTP Gateway
