TFTP Services
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the switch 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.
Download Firmware
To update the switch's firmware, click on the Maintenance folder and then the TFTP Service folder
and then the Download Firmware link:
Unit ID − Select which switch of a switch stack you want to update the firmware on. This allows the
selection of a particular switch from a switch stack if you have installed the optional stacking module
and have properly interconnected the switches. 15 indicates a switch in standalone mode.
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the Server IP Address field.
The TFTP server must be on the same IP subnet as the switch.
Enter the path and the filename to the firmware file on the TFTP server. Note that in the above example,
the firmware file is in the root directory of the D drive of the TFTP server.
The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform the file transfer. TFTP server
software is a part of many network management software packages, such as NetSight, or can be
obtained as a separate program.
Click Start to record the IP address of the TFTP server.
Download Configuration File
To download a configuration file from a TFTP server, click on the Maintenance folder, then the TFTP
Service folder and then the Download Configuration File link:
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and specify the location of the switch configuration file on the
TFTP server.
Click Apply to record the IP address of the TFTP server.
Click Start to initiate the file transfer.
