Traditionally, switch software is loaded through a serial port. This approach is slow,
time-consuming and cannot be used for remote loading. To resolve these problems, the
TFTP and FTP modules are introduced into the switch. With these modules, you can
load/download software/files conveniently to the switch through an Ethernet port.
This chapter introduces how to load the Boot ROM and host software to a switch locally
and remotely.
