TFTP Services
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the Switch's 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. The TFTP server must be
running TFTP server software to perform the file transfer.
The user also has the option of transferring firmware and configuration files to and from the internal Flash drive, located on the
Switch. Using this window, the user can receive a configuration or firmware file from a TFTP server, or transfer that firmware or
configuration file to a TFTP server. More about configuring the internal Flash drive can be found in the next section entitled Flash
File Services. TFTP server software is a part of many network management software packages – such as NetSight, or can be
obtained as a separate program
.
