File Management Commands
Managing Firmware
Firmware can be uploaded and downloaded to or from a TFTP server. By saving runtime
code to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore
operation. The switch can also be set to use new firmware without overwriting the
previous version.
When downloading runtime code, the destination file name can be specified to replace
the current image, or the file can be first downloaded using a different name from the
current runtime code file, and then the new file set as the startup file.
Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings
Configuration settings can be uploaded and downloaded to and from a TFTP server. The
configuration file can be later downloaded to restore switch settings.
The configuration file can be downloaded under a new file name and then set as the
startup file, or the current startup configuration file can be specified as the destination file
to directly replace it. Note that the file “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” can be copied to the
TFTP server, but cannot be used as the destination on the switch.
copy
This command moves (upload/download) a code image or configuration file between the
switch’s flash memory and a TFTP server. When you save the system code or
configuration settings to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the
switch to restore system operation. The success of the file transfer depends on the
accessibility of the TFTP server and the quality of the network connection.
