Managing Firmware
You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server, or copy
files to and from switch units in a stack. 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. You must specify the method of file
transfer, along with the file type and file names as required.
