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 downloaded into the Switch from a TFTP server. Switch
configuration settings can be saved and a history and attack log can be uploaded from the Switch to the TFTP server. The Switch
supports dual image storage for configuration and firmware. The firmware and configuration images are indexed by ID number 1
or 2. To change the boot firmware image, use the Config Firmware Image window (Administration > Multiple Image Services
> Config Firmware Image). The default Switch settings will use Image ID 1 as the boot configuration or firmware.
To view this window, click Administration > TFTP Services, as shown below:
Configure the following parameters and then click Start to initiate the file transfer.
