Download File To Switch - NETGEAR GS728TS Admin Manual

GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches
To upload a file from the switch to an administrative system by using HTTP:
1. From the File Type menu, Specify what type of file you want to download to the switch:
• Archive: 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.
2. If you are uploading an image (Archive), use the Image Name field to select the image to
upload (image1 or image2). This field is only visible when Archive is selected as the File
Type.
3. Click Apply to open a window that allows you to either open the file or browse to a location
on an administrative system and save the file.
4. Click OK to open or save the file to the selected location.
