Traditionally, switch software is loaded through a serial port. This approach is slow, time-consuming and

cannot be used for remote loading. To resolve these problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are

introduced into the switch. With these modules, you can load/download software/files conveniently to

the switch through an Ethernet port.

This chapter introduces how to load the Boot ROM and host software to a switch locally and remotely.

Introduction to Loading Approaches

You can load software locally by using:

XModem through Console port

TFTP through Ethernet port

FTP through Ethernet port

You can load software remotely by using:

The Boot ROM software version should be compatible with the host software version when you load the

Boot ROM and host software.

If your terminal is directly connected to the Console port of the switch, you can load the Boot ROM and

host software locally.

Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the switch.

The loading process of the Boot ROM software is the same as that of the host software, except that

during the former process, you should press "6" or <Ctrl+U> and <Enter> after entering the BOOT

menu and the system gives different prompts. The following text mainly describes the Boot ROM

loading process.
