A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server lets you transfer files across a network.

By using TFTP, you can retrieve files from the device for backup or copying, and you

can upgrade the firmware or the configuration files onto the device.

Upgrade

 Select Image from the drop down of file type and upgrade.

 The firmware upgrade process happens in four phases:

 The TFTP firmware is uploaded from PC TFTP server path to the device.

 Verification: Verify the firmware to validate the checksum

 Upgrade: Write the new firmware into flash memory

 Reboot: Once flash write processes is completed, and then automatically

reboot the device.

 The whole firmware upgrade process takes around 6.30 minutes to

complete.

 When upgrade process starts, all the existing links will be disconnected until

it reboots with new firmware.

 Due to the above fact, it is recommended to upgrade all remote devices

and then upgrade the local devices.

Retrieve

 The retrieved device config file will be stored in the PC TFTP Server path.
