10.9.2 Downloading via TFTP
To perform a TFTP download, you must first configure the switch. This consists of programming
the switch with an IP address, if this has not already been done, and entering the IP address of the
TFTP server and the name of the upgrade file.
To program the switch IP address, select
Management Setup Menu
from the Main Menu screen,
then select
Network Configuration
.
To download switch software via TFTP, proceed as follows:
1.
Select
Download Server IP Address
from the TFTP Download Menu.
2.
Enter the TFTP server IP address and press ENTER.
3.
Select
Download Filename
and enter the file name to be downloaded from the TFTP server.
4.
If necessary, configure the address of an IP gateway to reach the server from the switch using
the Gateway IP field in the Network Configuration/IP Configuration menu.
NOTE:
For a TFTP download, the path to the file must be included in its name. For
example, if the upgrade file name is filename.bin and it resides in the directory /usr/tftp
on the TFTP server, then you must enter the TFTP file name as:
“/usr/tftp/filename.fls”.
