The subsequent steps are the same as those for loading the Boot ROM, except that the system gives
the prompt for host software loading instead of Boot ROM loading.
You can also use the xmodem get command to load host software through the Console port (of AUX
type). The load procedures are as follows (assume that the PC is connected to the Console port of the
switch, and logs onto the switch through the Console port):
Step 1: Execute the xmodem get command in user view. In this case, the switch is ready to receive
files.
Step 2: Enable the HyperTerminal on the PC, and configure XModem as the transfer protocol, and
configure communication parameters on the Hyper Terminal the same as that on the Console port.
Step 3: Choose the file to be loaded to the switch, and then start to transmit the file.
Loading by TFTP through Ethernet Port
Introduction to TFTP
TFTP, a protocol in TCP/IP protocol suite, is used for trivial file transfer between client and server. It is
over UDP to provide unreliable data stream transfer service.
Loading the Boot ROM
Figure 1-6 Local loading using TFTP
Step 1: As shown in Figure 1-6 , connect the switch through an Ethernet port to the TFTP server, and
connect the switch through the Console port to the configuration PC.
You can use one PC as both the configuration device and the TFTP server.
Step 2: Run the TFTP server program on the TFTP server, and specify the path of the program to be
downloaded.
