Overview
You can download new Switch Management Module software (operating
system—OS) and upload or download Switch 208/224 configuration files.
These features are useful for acquiring periodic switch software upgrades and
for storing or retrieving a switch configuration.
Downloading an Operating System
There are several methods you can use to download new operating system
code to the Switch Management Module. You can use any of the following
methods, whichever is more convenient:
■ the TFTP feature-- Download OS command on the console Main Menu
■ HP’s SNMP Download Manager
■ a switch-to-switch file transfer
■ the switch console’s Zmodem capabilities in the console Advanced
Commands
The rest of this section describes these methods.
Note Downloading a new OS does not change the current switch configuration. The
switch configuration is contained in a separate file that can also be transferred,
for example to be saved or used on another Switch 208/224. See “Transferring
Switch Configurations” later in this appendix.
