The WX5004 supports only GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 for application upgrade.
Upgrading Applications Through an Ethernet Interface
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer between client and
server. It provides a simple and low-cost file transfer service. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer
over UDP and does not provide any access authorization and authentication mechanism. It employs the
timeout retransmission method to implement best-effort delivery of data. Compared with FTP, TFTP has
a much smaller software size.
Follow these steps to upgrade an application file through the management Ethernet interface (10/100
Base-TX):
Step1
Set up a software upgrade environment.
Figure 5-7
Set up a software upgrade environment
Connect GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to a PC with an Ethernet cable. Run TFTP Server on the PC, and set the
path of the application file to be downloaded.
The TFTP Server software is not provided with the WX5004. You need to prepare it yourself.
Step2
Modify the Ethernet interface parameters. For details, refer to section “
Configuring Ethernet Interface
” on page
.
Step3
Enter
