File Management
You can upload and download files such as configuration files and system
images by using HTTP (web only), TFTP, Secure FTP (SFTP), or Secure
Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good
way to back up the switch configuration. You can also download a
configuration file from a server to the switch to restore the switch to the
configuration in the downloaded file.
For information about uploading, downloading, and copying files, see
"Managing Images and Files" on page 333.
Switch Database Management Templates
Switch Database Management (SDM) templates enable you to reallocate
system resources to support a different mix of features based on your network
requirements. PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches
support the following three templates:
• Dual IPv4 and IPv6 (default)
• IPv4 Routing
• IPv4 Data Center
For information about setting the SDM template, see "Managing General
System Settings" on page 243.
Automatic Installation of Firmware and Configuration
The Auto Install feature allows the switch to upgrade or downgrade to a
newer software image and update the configuration file automatically during
device initialization with limited administrative configuration on the device.
The switch can obtain the necessary information from a DHCP server on the
network.
For information about Auto Install, see "Automatically Updating the Image
and Configuration" on page 357.
