Using the Console Interface

BOOTstrap Protocol). You can use the Software Update menu to
control this feature.

The fields you can set in this menu are:

♦

Software Update

Determines whether or not the Switch

will try to look for a configuration file over the network. If
set to Disable, none of the fields below have any effect.

♦

Software Update Mode

Set to either

Network

Out-of-

band

. Determines whether the configuration file should be

obtained through the Ethernet network or through the
console port.

♦

Boot Protocol:

Set to either TFTP ONLY or

BOOTP&TFTP.

Applies only if the

Software Update

is set

to enabled.

♦

Boot Server IP Address:

The IP address of the TFTP

server where the configuration file is located. This entry is
used only if the Software Update is set to enabled and your
boot protocol is

tftp only

. If you are using

bootp-

tftp

mode, or if

Send BOOTP Request on Power Up

(see

TCP/IP Parameters Configuration Menu) is set to “Yes,” the
address will be obtained from the BOOTP server.

♦

Boot File Name:

The pathname of the configuration file

on your TFTP server. This entry is used only if your boot
protocol is TFTP ONLY; if you are using BOOTP&TFTP
mode, the pathname will be obtained from the BOOTP
server.
