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.
