FILE MANAGEMENT
Managing Firmware
Firmware can be uploaded and downloaded to or from an FTP/TFTP server.
By saving runtime code to a file on an FTP/TFTP server, that file can later
be downloaded to the switch to restore operation. The switch can also be
set to use new firmware without overwriting the previous version.
When downloading runtime code, the destination file name can be specified
to replace the current image, or the file can be first downloaded using a
different name from the current runtime code file, and then the new file set
as the startup file.
Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings
Configuration settings can be uploaded and downloaded to and from an
FTP/TFTP server. The configuration file can be later downloaded to restore
switch settings.
The configuration file can be downloaded under a new file name and then
set as the startup file, or the current startup configuration file can be
specified as the destination file to directly replace it. Note that the file
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg” can be copied to the FTP/TFTP server, but
cannot be used as the destination on the switch.
