Using TFTP to
Upgrade Software
If you use TCP/IP protocol on your network, you can use a workstation
and TFTP software to upload new software to the switch or download a
copy of the current software from the switch. The switch contains the
TFTP server portion of the TFTP protocol which requires that the
workstation contain the TFTP client portion of the protocol.
TFTP software is available from various sources and is included in
SNMPc, which can be purchased through Allied Telesyn. A command
line version is included in most UNIX variants and in Windows NT. Please
consult the documentation or the manufacturer of the software for
instructions on how to use the software.
Regardless of the manufacturer, all TFTP client software will need the
following information:
Host - This is the IP address of the switch to which you are uploading or
downloading software.
Binary or ANSI - You will need to specify binary mode for the file
transfer.
Get or Put - The Get command is used to download a copy of the
software to a file on the workstation. The Put command is used to
upload a new software image file to the switch.
Source file - When using the Put command to upload software to the
switch, enter the path and filename of the software image that is to be
uploaded. When using the Get command to download the software
from a switch, enter the Download Password here. The default password
is ATS24. For instructions on changing the password, refer to
Configuring the Switch IP Parameters on page 40.
Destination file - When using the Put command to upload software to
the switch, enter the Download Password here. The default password is
ATS24. For instructions on changing the password, refer to Configuring
the Switch IP Parameters on page 40. When using the Get command to
download the software from a switch, enter the path and filename of the
software image that is to be downloaded.
