Chapter 5 Loading Boot ROM and Host Software
Switch software loading through serial ports in the past is time consuming and cannot
be operated remotely. To address these problems, TFTP and FTP are used to allow
software and file downloading through Ethernet ports. The following subsections
describe how to load software and files in these two approaches.
5.1 Introduction to Loading Approaches
To load software remotely, use FTP or TFTP.
To load software at the local, use XModem at the console port or TFTP/FTP at an
Ethernet port.
Note:
Ensure that the Boot ROM and host software versions that you download can work with
each other.
5.2 Loading Software Locally
If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load Boot ROM and host
software locally. But before that, make sure they are correctly connected.
Note:
The steps that you should take to load Boot ROM program and host software are the
same, except that during Boot ROM program loading you need to press <Ctrl +U> after
accessing the Boot ROM menu and will view different prompt information. Boot ROM
loading procedures are described below for example.
