Software Download Through TFTP Server

This section contains instructions for downloading device software (system and Boot Images) through a TFTP server. The
TFTP server must be configured before downloading the software.
The switch boots and runs when decompressing the system image from the flash memory area where a copy of the system
image is stored. When a new image is downloaded, the image is saved in an area allocated for the additional system image
copy.
On the next boot, the switch decompresses and runs the currently active system image.
To download an image through the TFTP server:
1. Ensure that an IP address is configured on one of the device ports and pings can be sent to a TFTP server.
2. Ensure that the file to be downloaded is saved on the TFTP server.
3. Enter the command show version to verify which software version is currently running on the device. The
following is an example of the information that appears:
DGS31000# show version
SW version x.xx.xx (date xx-xxx-2004 time 13:42:41)Boot version x.xx.x (date x-xxx-
2003 time 15:12:20) HW version.
Enter the command to copy a new system image to the device. When the new image is downloaded, it is saved in the area
allocated for the other copy of system image (image-2, as given in the example), and then is automatically loaded on reboot.
The following is an example of the information that appears:
Download<firmware<tftpaddress><filename>
Loading file1 from 176.215.31.3:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Copy took 00:01:11 [hh:mm:ss]
Exclamation symbols indicate that a copying process is in progress. A period indicates that the copying process is timed out.
Many periods in a row indicate that the copying process failed.
Enter the command reboot. The following message is displayed:
DGS31000# reboot
This command will reset the whole system and disconnect your current session.Do you
want to continue (y/n)[n]?
Enter Y to reboot the switch..
