System Files
This section describes how to upgrade the switch operating software or configuration files, and set the system start-up files.
Copying Files via FTP/TFTP or HTTP
Use the System > File (Copy) page to upload/download firmware or configuration settings using FTP, TFTP or HTTP. By backing up
a file to an FTP/TFTP server or management station, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore operation. Specify
the method of file transfer, along with the file type and file names as required.
You can also set the switch to use new firmware or configuration settings without overwriting the current version. Just download
the file using a different name from the current version, and then set the new file as the startup file.
Command Usage
When logging into an FTP server, the interface prompts for a user name and password configured on the remote server.
Note that "Anonymous" is set as the default user name.
The reset command will not be accepted during copy operations to flash memory.
The following table displays the options on this page:
NOTE:
Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime firmware) can be stored in the file directory on the switch.
NOTE:
The maximum number of user-defined configuration files is limited only by available flash memory space.
NOTE:
The file "Factory_Default_Config.cfg" can be copied to a file server or management station, but cannot be used as the
destination file name on the switch.
