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 ID − Select which switch of a switch stack to update the firmware on. This allows the selection of a particular switch
from a switch stack if the optional stacking module is installed and switches have been properly interconnected All
indicates all switches in a switch stack will download the same firmware.
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the Server IP Address field.
Select the Image ID of the firmware. Members of the xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Switch Series can hold two firmware images
in its memory. Image ID 1 will always be the boot up firmware for the Switch unless specified by the user. Choosing
Active will download the firmware to the Boot Up Image ID, depending on the user's configuration. Information on
configuring Image IDs can be found in this section, under the heading MULTIPLE IMAGE Services.
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.
