ONFIGURATION
Network requirements
A switch operates as an FTP server and a remote PC as an FTP client. The
application switch.bin of the switch is stored on the PC. Upload the application
to the remote switch through FTP and use the boot boot-loader command to
specify switch.bin as the application for next startup. Reboot the switch to
upgrade the switch application and download the configuration file config.cfg
from the switch, thus to back up the configuration file.
Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name "switch" and
■
password "hello".
The IP addresses 1.1.1.1 for a VLAN interface on the switch and 2.2.2.2 for the
■
PC have been configured. Ensure that a route exists between the switch and
the PC.

2 Configure the PC (FTP client)
Run an FTP client application on the PC to connect to the FTP server. Upload the
application named switch.bin to the root directory of the Flash memory of the
FTP server, and download the configuration file named config.cfg from the FTP
server. The following takes the command line window tool provided by Windows
as an example:
# Enter the command line window and switch to the directory where the file
switch.bin is located. In this example it is in the root directory of C:.
