Before you download a file to the switch, the following conditions must be true:
• The file to download from the TFTP server is on the server in the appropriate directory.
• The file is in the correct format.
• The switch has a path to the TFTP server.
To download a file to the switch from a TFTP server:
1. From the File Type menu, Specify what type of file you want to download to the switch:
• Code: The code is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash sectors
called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy; while the
other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active image. If the
active image is corrupt, the system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is
a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade process.
• Text Configuration: A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured text
file (startup-config) offline as needed without having to translate the contents for the
switch to understand. The most common usage of text-based configuration is to upload a
working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for another similar
device (for example, change the device name, serial number, IP address), and download it
to that device.
