This section describes how to upgrade the switch operating software or
configuration files, and set the system start-up files.
C OPYING F ILES 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 or 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.
