TFTP Transfer
This section allows you to specify the IP address of the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
server and the le name of the rmware le to be exported or imported.
Be sure that you have the TFTP server running and congured properly on a separate computer.
Function Description
TFTP Server Specify the IP address of the TFTP server
File Name Specify the le name of the conguration
Click on the Import or Export button to begin the transfer.
Note
The transfer status is shown in this window and will be updated automatically. Also check in your
TFTP server logs to see when the transfer is complete. Wait until the TFTP server log shows
that the le has been transferred and the status on the web interface shows successful before
rebooting.
If you intend to load a new version of the rmware le from the TFTP server, we recommend rst
of all to back up the existing rmware le to the TFTP server. Please note that the switch only
accepts a correct und successful uploaded rmware le for updating the software. A wrong le or
a abortion during the upload will not cause any damage or inoperability of the switch.
HTTP Transfer
This section allows you to use HTTP data transfer for the rmware le to be exported or imported.
Click on the Import or Export button to begin the transfer.
To import a new rmware le, just click on the browse button to search for a le on a remote
system and select it via the standard windows interface. After the selection of the le, click to
Import to start the upload of the rmware.
To export the current rmware of the switch, click on the Export button and the standard windows
interface will enable you to save the le to a remote system.

Only select rmware les that are compatible with the device for the import functionality.

8.8 File Transfer
This section allows you to transfer les to and from the switch. File transfers are used for importing
or exporting specic saved congurations and for importing or exporting rmware. Uploading and
downloading of the les can be done via a TFTP Server and very simple via HTTP.
The address of a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server can be specied for importing or
exporting rmware or congurations. In order to transfer les to or from the switch, a TFTP server
program must be installed on a connected PC. There are three different tabbed sections within
this window.
8.8.1 Firmware
This tabbed section allows you to specify the IP address of the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
server and the le name of the rmware le to be exported or imported.
Be sure that you have the TFTP server running and congured properly on a separate computer.
Click on the Import or Export button to begin the transfer.
