You must log in as an administrator. Enter “admin” when prompted for a username.

Step 4.

Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).

Step 5.

Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.

Step 6.

Use “put” to transfer files from the computer to the switch, for example, “put firmware.bin ras” transfers
the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the switch and renames it “ras”. Similarly, “put
config.rom rom-0” transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.rom) to the switch and
renames it “rom-0”. Likewise “get rom-0 config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the switch to your
computer and renames it “config.rom.” See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename
conventions.

Enter “quit” to exit the ftp prompt.
