Download/Upload Menu

As enhancements are made to the switch, you may need to update the software, or
microcode, that is contained in the switch. This chapter describes how to upgrade
the switch flash memory.
Caution: After downloading the new software, you must reset the switch. The
switch is not operational while it is resetting. Before starting this procedure, make
sure the network will not be effected.
The Download/Upload menu is accessed from the main menu. Downloading is
used to load the flash memory within the switch. The Download/Upload menu
displays two download choices. The two choices are TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol) Download/Upload and the Serial Link Download (console). You can
also use TFTP transfers to store or retrieve the complete set of switch configuration
parameters.
