Precautions ■ If the free Flash memory of the switch is not enough for the application file to
be uploaded, remove those unused applications from the Flash memory first.
■ It is not recommended to directly remove applications in use. If removing some
applications in use is a must to get enough space, you can use the BootROM
menu to remove them.
Configuring a Switch
as FTP Client
The Ethernet switch can act as an FTP client. You can use an emulation program or
Telnet to log in to the switch and then use the ftp command to log in the FTP
server and access the files on the server.

Requirements
A switch operates as an FTP client and a remote PC as the FTP server.
■ Configure the IP address of VLAN-interface 1 on the switch as 1.1.1.1/16, and
that of the PC as 2.2.2.2/16. Ensure that the switch and PC can reach each
other.
■ Create an FTP user with the username switch and password hello on the FTP
server, and allow the user to read and write under the directory switch of the
PC.
■ An application named switch.bin is stored on the PC. The switch downloads
switch.bin from the PC through FTP to upgrade the application.
■ The switch uploads the configuration file config.cfg to the PC for backup.
