Managing System Files
◆ The switch will immediately restart after the upgrade file is successfully written
to the file system and set as the startup image.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
◆ Automatic Opcode Upgrade – Enables the switch to search for an upgraded
operation code file during the switch bootup process. (Default: Disabled)
◆
Automatic Upgrade Location URL – Defines where the switch should search
for the operation code upgrade file. The last character of this URL must be a
forward slash
(“/”). The level1-5261.bix filename must not be included since it is
automatically appended by the switch. (Options: ftp, sftp, tftp)
The following syntax must be observed:
tftp:// host [ / filedir ] /
■
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
■
host – Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not
recognized.
■
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash
“/”.
■
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp:// [ username [ : password @ ]] host [ / filedir ] /
■
ftp:// – Defines FTP protocol for the server connection.
■
username – Defines the user name for the FTP connection. If the user name
is omitted, then “anonymous” is the assumed user name for the
connection.
■
password – Defines the password for the FTP connection. To differentiate
the password from the user name and host portions of the URL, a colon (:)
must precede the password, and an “at” symbol (@), must follow the
password. If the password is omitted, then “” (an empty string) is the
assumed password for the connection.
■
host – Defines the IP address of the FTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not
recognized.
■
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the FTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash
“/”.
■
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
