VIA

FTP/TFTP

OR

HTTP

Use the System > File (Copy) page to upload/download firmware or

configuration settings using FTP, TFTP or HTTP. By backing up a file to an

FTP or TFTP server or management station, that file can later be

downloaded to the switch to restore operation. Specify the method of file

transfer, along with the file type and file names as required.

You can also set the switch to use new firmware or configuration settings

without overwriting the current version. Just download the file using a

different name from the current version, and then set the new file as the

startup file.
