Command Attributes
• Automatic Opcode Upgrade – Enables the switch to search for an upgraded
operation code file during the switch bootup process.
- Enabled check box – Defines the state of this feature. (Default: Disabled)
• Automatic Upgrade Location URL – Defines where the switch should search for
the operation code upgrade file. The last character of this URL must be a forward
slash (“/”). The FGL-2870-OP-V1.3.4.0.bix filename must not be included since it
is automatically appended by the switch. (Options: ftp, tftp)
The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
host – Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS hostnames
are not recognized.
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash “/”.
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp://[username[:password@]]host[/filedir]/
ftp:// – Defines FTP protocol for the server connection.
username – Defines the user name for the FTP connection. If the user
name is omitted, then “anonymous” is the assumed user name for the
connection.
password – Defines the password for the FTP connection. To differentiate
the password from the user name and host portions of the URL, a colon
(:) must precede the password, and an “at” symbol (@), must follow the
password. If the password is omitted, then “” (an empty string) is the
assumed password for the connection.
host – Defines the IP address of the FTP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS hostnames
are not recognized.
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the FTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash “/”.
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
Examples
• The following examples demonstrate the URL syntax for a TFTP server at IP
address 192.168.0.1 with the operation code image stored in various locations:
- tftp://192.168.0.1/
The image file is in the TFTP root directory.
- tftp://192.168.0.1/switch-opcode/
The image file is in the “switch-opcode” directory, relative to the TFTP root.
