Note
The transfer status is shown in this window and will be updated automatically. Also check in your
TFTP server logs to see when the transfer is complete. Wait until the TFTP server log shows
that the file has been transferred and the status on the web interface shows successful before
rebooting.
If you intend to load a new version of the firmware file from the TFTP server, we recommend first
of all to back up the existing firmware file to the TFTP server. Please note that the switch only
accepts a correct und successful uploaded firmware file for updating the software. A wrong file or
a abortion during the upload will not cause any damage or inoperability of the switch.

This section allows you to use HTTP data transfer for the firmware file to be exported or imported.
Click on the

button to begin the transfer.
To import a new firmware file, just click on the browse button to search for a file on a remote
system and select it via the standard windows interface. After the selection of the file, click to
Import
to start the upload of the firmware.
To export the current firmware of the switch, click on the
Export
button and the standard windows
interface will enable you to save the file to a remote system.

8.8 File Transfer
This section allows you to transfer files to and from the switch. File transfers are used for importing
or exporting specific saved configurations and for importing or exporting firmware. Uploading and
downloading of the files can be done via a TFTP Server and very simple via HTTP.
The address of a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server can be specified for importing or
exporting firmware or configurations. In order to transfer files to or from the switch, a TFTP server
program must be installed on a connected PC. There are three different tabbed sections within
this window.

server and the file name of the firmware file to be exported or imported.
