• File Name – The file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the

leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and the

maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is 127 characters or

31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”,

“-”, “_”)

• Source/Destination Unit – Stack unit. (Range: 1 - 8)

Note:Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime firmware)

can be stored in the file directory on the switch. The currently

designated startup version of this file cannot be deleted.

Downloading System Software from a Server

When downloading runtime code, you can specify the destination file

name to replace the current image, or first download the file using a

different name from the current runtime code file, and then set the new

file as the startup file.

Web – Click System, File, Copy. Select “tftp to file” from the drop-down

menu. Select “tftp to file” as the file transfer method, enter the IP address

of the TFTP server, set the file type to “opcode,” enter the file name of the

software to download, select a file on the switch to overwrite or specify a

new file name, then click Apply. If you replaced the current firmware used

for startup and want to start using the new operation code, reboot the

system via the System/Reset menu.
