A.3 tftp server for software
updates
On delivery, the Switch software is held in the local flash memory. The Switch
boots the software from the flash memory.
Software updates can be performed via a tftp server. This presupposes that
a tftp server has been installed in the connected network and that it is active.
Note: An alternative to the tftp update is the http update. The http update
saves you having to configure the tftp server.
The Switch requires the following information to be able to perform a software
update from the tftp server:
its own IP address (entered permanently),
the IP address of the tftp server or of the gateway to the tftp server,
the path in which the operating system of the tftp server is kept
The file transfer between the Switch and the tftp server is performed via the
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (tftp).
The management station and the tftp server may be made up of one or more
computers.
The preparation of the tftp server for the Switch software involves the follow-
ing steps:
Setting up the Switch directory and copying the Switch software
Setting up the tftp process
