Operation Code
The following example shows how to download new firmware to the switch
and activate it. The TFTP server could be any standards-compliant server
running on Windows or Linux. When downloading from an FTP server, the
logon interface will prompt for a user name and password configured on the
remote server. Note that “anonymous” is set as the default user name.
File names on the switch are case-sensitive. The destination file name should
not contain slashes (\ or /), and the maximum length for file names is 32
characters for files on the switch or 128 characters for files on the server.
(Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”)

Configuration
Settings
Configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and are not
saved when the switch is rebooted. To save all your configuration changes in
nonvolatile storage, you must copy the running configuration file to the start-up
configuration file using the “copy” command.
New startup configuration files must have a name specified. File names on the
switch are case-sensitive, can be from 1 to 31 characters, must not contain
slashes (\ or /), and the leading letter of the file name must not be a period (.).
(Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
There can be more than one user-defined configuration file saved in the
switch’s flash memory, but only one is designated as the “startup” file that is
