General Guidelines

Here are the general guidelines to uploading or downloading files to the
master switch of a stack for the web browser windows:

ˆ

You have to use TFTP.

ˆ

There has to be a node on your network with the TFTP server
software.

ˆ

You should start the TFTP server before you begin the upload or
download procedure.

ˆ

The stack must have a routing interface on the local subnet from
where it reaches the TFTP server. The master switch uses the IP
address of the interface as its source address to communicate with the
server. If the stack does not have a routing interface, you can upload
or download files from a local management session on the switch
using Xmodem.

ˆ

You cannot use the web browser windows to upload or download files
to the compact flash memory card in a switch.
