A configuration file can be downloaded from a TFTP server to the switch module. This file is
then used by the switch module to configure itself. Beginning in firmware version 2.0.0,
switch firmware configuration files are specified in XML format.
Downloaded XML configuration files do not need to specify every possible parameter. Only
the configuration parameters specified will be modified; others will remain unchanged.
