MANAGING SYSTEM FILES
This section describes how to upgrade the switch operating software or
configuration files, and set the system start-up files.
COPYING FILES VIA
FTP/TFTP OR HTTP
Use the System > File (Copy) page to upload/download firmware or
configuration settings using FTP, TFTP or HTTP. By backing up a file to an
FTP/TFTP server or management station, that file can later be downloaded
to the switch to restore operation. Specify the method of file transfer, along
with the file type and file names as required.
You can also set the switch to use new firmware or configuration settings
without overwriting the current version. Just download the file using a
different name from the current version, and then set the new file as the
startup file.
