Managing Firmware
You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server. By saving runtime code to a file on a TFTP
server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore operation. You can set the switch to use new
firmware without overwriting the previous version.
The switch also allows a runtime code file to be copied to or from another switch unit in the stack.
Command Attributes
Downloading System Software from a Server - Web
When downloading runtime code, you can specify the Destination File Name to replace the current image, or
first download the file using a different name from the current runtime code file, and then set the new file as the
startup file.
Click System, File, Copy. Select “tftp to file” from the drop-down menu. Select “opcode” as the file type, then
enter the IP address of the TFTP server and the source and destination file names. Click Apply.
If you download to a new destination file, select the file from the drop-down box for the operation code
used at startup, and click Apply. To start the new firmware, reboot the system via the System/Reset menu.
Command Attributes
• File Transfer Method: The firmware copy operation includes these options:
• file to file - Copies a file within the switch directory, assigning it a new name.
• file to tftp - Copies a file from the switch to a TFTP server.
• ftp to file - Copies a file from a TFTP server to the switch.
• file to unit - Copies a file from this switch to another unit in the stack.
• unit to file - Copies a file from another unit in the stack to this switch.
• TFTP Server IP Address: The IP address of a TFTP server.
• File Name:
The file name should not contain slashes (\ or /),
the leading letter of the file
name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the
TFTP server is 127 characters or 31 characters for files on the switch.
Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”
• Source/Destination Unit: Specifies the switch stack unit number.
• File Type: Allows you to specify either an operational code file (opcode), or a

Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime firmware) can be stored in
the file directory on the switch. The currently designated startup version of this file
cannot be deleted.
