These guidelines apply to an Xmodem download:

ˆ

Xmodem can only download a file onto the switch where you started
the local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to download
a file onto a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.

ˆ

The file to be downloaded must be stored on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch.

These guidelines apply to a TFTP download:

ˆ

Your network must have a node with TFTP server software.

ˆ

The file to be downloaded must be stored on the TFTP server.

ˆ

You should start the TFTP server software before you begin the
download procedure.

ˆ

The switch where you are downloading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced
stack. For switches without an IP address, such as slave switches, you
can download the file from a local management session of the switch
using Xmodem.
