Managing System Files
This section describes how to upgrade the switch operating software or
configuration files, and set the system start-up files.
Copying Files via FTP/
TFTP or HTTP
Use the System > File (Copy) page to upload/download firmware or configuration
settings using FTP, TFTP or HTTP. By backing up a file to an FTP/TFTP server or
management station, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore
operation. Specify the method of file transfer, along with the file type and file
names as required.
You can also set the switch to use new firmware or configuration settings without
overwriting the current version. Just download the file using a different name from
the current version, and then set the new file as the startup file.
Command Usage
When logging into an FTP server, the interface prompts for a user name and
password configured on the remote server. Note that “Anonymous” is set as the
default user name.
