Switch Administration 7-9
Setting Up the Switch
1. Check Enable Automatic Firmware Update to allow the WS 2000 Wireless Switch to automatically receive
firmware updates from a server using the DHCP protocol. By default this option is disabled.
2. Check Enable Automatic Configuration Update to allow the WS 2000 to automatically receive configuration file
updates from a server using DHCP. By default this option is disabled.
3. Use the Interface menu to select the interface from which Firmware and Configuration updates will be received. This
interface can be either the WAN port or any of the configured subnets on the switch. By default this value is set to
WAN.
4. Navigate to the Firmware or Config Import/Export screen depending on whether you are setting up the automatic
firmware download or configuration settings download. Set the TFTP server IP address to the IP address of the server
what will do the download. Also set the name of the file to download.
Setting Up the DHCP Server
The external DHCP server will also needs to be configured appropriately. On a Windows server, you will need to select the
appropriate options in the server setup. For a Linux server, edit the /etc/dhcpd.conf file to have the appropriate settings.
Exporting and Importing Wireless Switch Settings
All of the configuration settings for the WS 2000 Wireless Switch can be saved to a configuration file and then either
imported back into the same switch or transferred to another switch. This file-based configuration saving feature provides
several benefits:
• It can speed the switch setup process significantly at sites using multiple WS 2000 Wireless switches.
• It allows an administrator to “backup” the current switch configuration before making significant changes, before
restoring the default configuration, or for precautionary measures.
