Tftp Services - D-Link xStack DES-3800 Series User Manual

TFTP Services

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services
allow the Switch's firmware to be upgraded by
transferring a new firmware file from a TFTP
server to the Switch. A configuration file can also
be loaded into the Switch from a TFTP server.
Switch settings can be saved to the TFTP server,
and a history log can be uploaded from the Switch
to the TFTP server. The TFTP server must be
running TFTP server software to perform the file
transfer.
TFTP server software is a part of many network management software packages – such as NetSight, or can be obtained as a
separate program. To update the Switch's firmware or configuration file, click Administration > TFTP Services.
The following parameters can be configured:
