Managing Firmware
You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server. By saving
runtime code to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded
to the switch to restore operation. You can also set the switch to use new
firmware without overwriting the previous version.
Command Attributes
•
TFTP Server IP Address
– The IP address of a TFTP server.
•
Destination File Name
– The file name should not contain slashes
(\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.),
and the maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is 127
characters or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
Note:
Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime
firmware) can be stored in the file directory on the switch. The
currently designated startup version of this file cannot be deleted.
Downloading System Software from a Server
When downloading runtime code, you can specify the Destination File
Name to replace the current image, or first download the file using a
different name from the current runtime code file, and then set the new
file as the startup file.
