CLI – To download new firmware form a TFTP server, enter the IP
address of the TFTP server, select “opcode” as the file type, then enter the
source and destination file names. When the file has finished downloading,
set the new file to start up the system and then restart the switch.
To start the new firmware, enter the “reload” command or reboot the
system.
Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings
You can upload/download configuration settings to/from a TFTP server,
or copy files to and from switch units in a stack. The configuration file can
be later downloaded to restore the switch’s settings.
Command Usage
• When updating the PoE controller, first copy the PD controller file from
a TFTP server to the switch's file system (tftp to file), and then copy this
file to the controller (file to file).
• When specifying the file type “PD_Controller” or “PoE” for copy
operations via the web or CLI, file types other than PoE controller may
be downloaded, but will not adversely affect the system.
Command Attributes
• File Transfer Method - The configuration copy operation includes these
options:
- file to file - Copies a file within the switch directory, assigning it a new
name.
- file to running-config - Copies a file in the switch to the running
configuration.
