TFTP

TFTP is not invoked automatically on the switch as it is on certain other network
devices, such as a diskless workstation. This is because there should normally be a
functional software image in flash memory and, therefore, TFTP is not a standard
part of the switch bootup procedure (under normal circumstances). TFTP is
intended for use during software upgrades and, once a new image is installed, there
should be no need for TFTP until the next software upgrade is installed.
In view of this, the TFTP function in the switch is designed as an explicitly
requested operation with operator settable parameters. Note that changes to these
parameters may be altered and will be used when starting a download in the display,
however, they are not recorded until the display is exited normally.
The TFTP Download/Uploa d menu is accessed through the main menu. From the
main menu select Download/Upload and then select TFTP Download/Upload .
