TFTP Services
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the Switch's firmware to be upgraded by transferring a new firmware file
from a TFTP server to the Switch. A configuration file can also be loaded into the Switch from a TFTP server, switch settings can
be saved to the TFTP server, and a history log can be uploaded from the Switch to the TFTP server.

Download Firmware

To update the Switch's firmware, open the TFTP Services folder in the Maintenance folder and then click the Download
Firmware link:
Unit Number − Select which slot in the chassis for which to update the firmware. This allows the selection of a particular slot
from slot stack if you have properly inserted the line cards in the chassis. All indicates all slots in the chassis will download the
same firmware.
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the Server IP Address field.
The TFTP server must be on the same IP subnet as the Switch.
Enter the path and the filename to the firmware file on the TFTP server. Note that in the above example, the firmware file is in the
root directory of the D drive of the TFTP server.
The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform the file transfer. TFTP server software is a part of many
network management software packages – such as NetSight, or can be obtained as a separate program.
Click Start to record the IP address of the TFTP server and initiate the file transfer.
NOTE: Please check the firmware version of the CPU and line cards of the xStack DES-
6500 chassis switch before upgrading to firmware release 3.00-B33. For firmware
upgrading information, cautions and procedures for release 3, please see Appendix B at
