BootROM and Host Software Loading
204
Chapter 27. BootROM and Host
Software Loading
Traditionally, the loading of switch software is accomplished through a serial port. This
approach is slow, inconvenient, and cannot be used for remote loading. To resolve these
problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are introduced into the switch. With these modules,
you can load/download software/files conveniently to the switch through an Ethernet port.
This chapter introduces how to load BootROM and host software to a switch locally and
how to do this remotely.
27.1 Introduction to Loading Approaches
You can load software locally by using:
XMODEM through Console port
TFTP through Ethernet port
FTP through Ethernet port
You can load software remotely by using:
FTP
TFTP
Note:
The BootROM software version should be compatible with the host software version
when you load the BootROM and host software.
27.2 Local Software Loading
If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load the BootROM and host
software locally.
Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the
switch to insure successful loading.
Note:
The loading process of the BootROM software is the same as that of the host software,
except that during the former process, the system gives different prompts. The following text
mainly describes the BootROM loading process.
