TFTP Services
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the Switch firmware to be upgraded by transferring a new firmware
file from a TFTP server to the Switch. A configuration file can also be loaded into the Switch from a TFTP server, Switch
settings can be saved to the TFTP server, and a history log can be uploaded from the Switch to the TFTP server.
Download Firmware
To update the Switch’s firmware, click on the
Maintenance
folder and then the

folder and then the

link:
Figure 9- 1. Download Firmware window
Use the
Unit
Number drop-down menu to select which Switch of a Switch stack on which you want to update the
firmware. This allows the selection of a particular Switch from a Switch stack if you have installed the optional stacking
module and have properly interconnected the Switches. The number 15 indicates a Switch in standalone mode.
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the
Server IP Address
field.
The TFTP server must be on the same IP subnet as the Switch.
Enter the path and the filename to the firmware file on the TFTP server. The TFTP server must be running TFTP server
software to perform the file transfer. TFTP server software is a part of many network management software packages –
such as NetSight, or can be obtained as a separate program
.
