Upload File Types
The following types of files can be uploaded from the switch:
• Archive. The archive is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash
sectors called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy
and the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active
image. If the active image is corrupt, the system automatically boots from the
non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade
process.
• Text Configuration. You can edit a text-based configuration file (startup-config)
offline as needed without having to translate the contents for the switch to
understand. The most common usage of text-based configuration is to download a
working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for another similar
device (for example, change the device name, IP address), and upload it to that
device.
• Flash Log. The log entry file stored in the Flash.
The Upload menu contains links that provide access to the features described in the
following sections:
• TFTP File Upload
• HTTP File Upload
• USB File Upload
TFTP File Upload
Use the TFTP File Upload screen to upload configuration (ASCII), log (ASCII), and image
(binary) files from the switch to a TFTP server on the network.
 To upload a file from the switch to the TFTP server:
1. Select Maintenance > Upload > TFTP File Upload. Use the File Type list to select the
type of file you want to upload.
For more information, see Upload File Types on page 165.
• Archive. Retrieve the active software image file.
• Text Configuration. Retrieve the stored text configuration file.
• Flash Logs. Retrieve the flash log file.
The factory default is Archive.
2. From the Server Address Type field, select the format to use for the address you type in
the Server Address field:
• IPv4. The TFTP server address is an IP address in dotted-decimal format.
• DNS. The TFTP server address is a host name.
3. In the Server Address field, specify the IP address or host name of the TFTP server.
The address you type must be in the format indicated by the TFTP server address type.
