Remote
If you choose the remote boot load mode, the stack
downloads software from a TFTP server and boots using
the newly downloaded management software.
Set Boot [M]ode
If you are using the remote boot load mode, you need to specify
how the stack should download the new management software.
There are two boot mode options: DHCP and TFTP.
DHCP
If you choose the DHCP boot mode, the stack will use
DHCP to determine the stack IP address, the TFTP server
address, and the image or configuration file name. The
stack will use this information to download the
management software from the TFTP server.
TFTP
If you choose the TFTP boot mode, the stack will use the IP
address that you assigned to the stack on the System IP
Configuration Menu as well as the TFTP server address and
the image or configuration file name that you entered in
the TFTP section of the Software Upgrade Menu.
Set [F]ile Type
If you selected the remote boot load mode, you can choose what
kind of files the switch will download while it is booting up. There
are three file type options:
Image
An image file is the management software for the stack.
Configuration
A configuration file is a file that contains all of the existing
configurations and settings for a stack. You can upload the
configuration file and modify the stack settings and then
download the configuration file back to the stack or onto
multiple stacks that you want to have the same
configurations. The stack(s) will then update their
configuration(s) based on the settings in the configuration
file.
Image and Configuration
This option allows you to download both the
management software and the configuration file.
