Upgrade Options You can upgrade your Switch 4210 using the:
■ Command Line Interface with either an TFTP server or an FTP server. This is the
fastest method.
■ Switch’s Boot Menu with TFTP, FTP, or Xmodem. Xmodem is the slowest choice
because it relies on the console’s serial port.
Note: If you need a TFTP or FTP server, you can use the TFTP/FTP servers on
www.3Com.com. Search for “tftp server”. The applications are located on the link
to “3Com Software Library - Utilities for 32 bit Windows”. These applications run
on Windows platforms.
