54 Switch Features
File Management
You can upload and download files such as configuration files and system
images by using HTTP (web only), TFTP, Secure FTP (SFTP), or Secure
Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good
way to back up the switch configuration. You can also download a
configuration file from a server to the switch to restore the switch to the
configuration in the downloaded file.
You can also copy files to and from a USB Flash drive that is plugged into the
USB port on the front panel of the switch.
For information about uploading, downloading, and copying files, see
"Managing Images and Files" on page 349.
Switch Database Management Templates
Switch Database Management (SDM) templates enable you to reallocate
system resources to support a different mix of features based on your network
requirements. PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support the following
three templates:
• Dual IPv4 and IPv6 (default)
•IPv4 Routing
•IPv4 Data Center
For information about setting the SDM template, see "Managing General
System Settings" on page 271.
Automatic Installation of Firmware and Configuration
The Auto Install feature allows the switch to upgrade to a newer software
image and update the configuration file automatically during device
initialization with limited administrative configuration on the device. If a
USB device is connected to the switch and contains a firmware image and/or
configuration file, the Auto Install feature installs the image or configuration
file from USB device. Otherwise, the switch can obtain the necessary
information from a DHCP server on the network.
For information about Auto Install, see "Automatically Updating the Image
and Configuration" on page 375.
