Chapter 1 BootROM and Host Software Loading

Traditionally, switch software is loaded through a serial port. This approach is slow,

time-consuming 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

remotely.

1.1 Introduction to Loading Approaches

You can load software locally by using:

z XModem through Console port

z TFTP through Ethernet port

z FTP through Ethernet port

You can load software remotely by using:

z FTP

z TFTP

 Note:

The BootROM software version should be compatible with the host software version

when you load the BootROM and host software.

1.2 Local BootROM and 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.
