Tftp Services - D-Link DES-1228/ME User Manual

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. The TFTP server must be running
TFTP server software to perform the file
transfer.
The user also has the option of transferring firmware and configuration files to and from the internal Flash drive, located on the
Switch. Using this window, the user can add a configuration or firmware file from a TFTP server to the flash memory, or transfer
that firmware or configuration file to a TFTP server. More about configuring the internal Flash drive can be found in the next
section entitled Flash File Services.
TFTP server software is a part of many network management software packages – such as NetSight, or can be obtained as a
separate program. To update the Switch's firmware or configuration file, click Administration > TFTP Services.
The following parameters can be configured:
