Managing System Files

• During the automatic search and transfer process, the administrator cannot transfer or update
another operation code image, configuration file, public key, or HTTPS certificate (i.e., no other
concurrent file management operations are possible).
• The upgrade operation code image is set as the startup image after it has been successfully
written to the file system.
• The switch will send an SNMP trap and make a log entry upon all upgrade successes and
failures.
• The switch will immediately restart after the upgrade file is successfully written to the file
system and set as the startup image.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
• Automatic Opcode Upgrade – Enables the switch to search for an upgraded operation code file
during the switch bootup process. (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
es020000.bin 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 host names 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 host names 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.
