Download
Password
Download password is a security device that can be used with TFTP
commands to download software from your switch to other switches in your
network. Download password is not associated with the password used for
Omega management.
If you change the password, ensure that you configure the same download
password for all of the switches that are to be downloaded. That is, the switch
downloading the software and the switches receiving the software must use
the same password. In short, when you use TFTP, the file name for the switch
must be the same as the downloaded password.
The process is as follows: enter the password for the hubs to be downloaded.
For example, if the current download password is ATS13 (all uppercase) then,
upon entering the command H, you will be asked “Please enter a new string,
or <RETURN> to retain the existing one.”
Please refer to Appendix A for a discussion of TFTP and how the download
password is used.
