TFTP File Download

• T
he file is in the correct format.

To download a file to the switch from a TFTP server:
1. Select Ma
intenance Download TFTP File Download.
2. From the File Type menu, specify what type of file you want to download to the switch:
• Archiv
e. The archive is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash
sectors called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy;
while the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the
active image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from the
non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade
process.
