File Management

You can upload and download files such as configuration files and system

images by using HTTP (web only), TFTP , Secure FTP (SFTP), or Secure

Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good

way to back up the switch configuration. You can also download a

configuration file from a server to the switch to restore the switch to the

configuration in the downloaded file.

You can also copy files to and from a USB Flash drive that is plugged into the

USB port on the front panel of the switch.

For information about uploading, downloading, and copying files, see

"Managing Images and Files" on page 349.

Switch Database Management (SDM) templates enable you to reallocate

system resources to support a different mix of features based on your network

requirements. PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support the following

three templates:

Dual IPv4 and IPv6 (default)

IPv4 Routing

IPv4 Data Center

For information about setting the SDM template, see "Managing General

System Settings" on page 271.

The Auto Install feature allows the switch to upgrade to a newer software

image and update the configuration file automatically during device

initialization with limited administrative configuration on the device. If a

USB device is connected to the switch and contains a firmware image and/or

configuration file, the Auto Install feature installs the image or configuration

file from USB device. Otherwise, the switch can obtain the necessary

information from a DHCP server on the network.

For information about Auto Install, see "Automatically Updating the Image

and Configuration" on page 375.
