A.3 tftp server for software
updates
On delivery, the switch software is held in the flash memory. The Switch
boots the software from the flash memory.
Software updates can be realized via a tftp server. This presupposes that a
tftp server has been installed in the connected network and that it is active.
Note: An alternative to the tftp update is the http update. The http update
saves you having to configure the tftp server.
The Switch requires the following information to be able to make a software
update from the tftp server:
D its own IP address (entered permanently),
D the IP address of the tftp server or gateway to the tftp server,
D the path in which the operating system of the tftp server is kept
File transfer between Switch and tftp server is handled by way of the Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (tftp).
Management station and tftp server may be made up of one or more
computers.
Preparation of the tftp server for the Switch software involves the following
steps:
D Setting-up the Switch directories and copying the Switch software
D Setting-up the tftp process
