Chapter 1 Boot ROM and Host Software Loading

Traditionally, the loading of switch software is accomplished through a serial port. This

approach is slow, inconvenient, and cannot be used for remote loading. To resolve

these problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are introduced into the switch. With these

modules, you can load/download software/files conveniently to the switch through an

Ethernet port.

This chapter introduces how to load Boot ROM and host software to a switch locally

and how to do this remotely.
