Determining the software versions installed and running on a device
3
You can update the software contained on a flash module using TFTP to copy the update image
from a TFTP server onto the flash module. In addition, you can copy software images and
configuration files from a flash module to a TFTP server.
NOTE
Dell PowerConnect devices are TFTP clients but not TFTP servers. You must perform the TFTP
transaction from the Dell PowerConnect device. You cannot “put” a file onto the Dell PowerConnect
device using the interface of your TFTP server.
NOTE
If you are attempting to transfer a file using TFTP but have received an error message, refer to
“Diagnostic error codes and remedies for TFTP transfers” on page 75.
