Downloading System Software
System software updates can be downloaded either in-band via
TFTP Protocol or out-of-band through the console port.
Downloading software via TFTP is substantially faster than serial
downloading through the console port. After either type of file
transfer, the switch will automatically restart.
Downloading via TFTP Protocol
In order to use this method, there must be an available TFTP
server which is IP accessible from the switch.
