Tftp Services - D-Link xStack DGS-3600 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, open the TFTP Services hyperlink, located in the
Administration folder.
The following parameters can be configured:
