Uploading and downloading from USB storage

USB Port Management wizard.

2. Right-click on a configuration file to access Export, Copy, and Search options.

Performing a firmware download
During a firmware download, the switch restarts and the browser temporarily loses connection with
the switch. When the connection is restored, the version of the software running in the browser is
different from the new software version that was installed and activated on the switch. You must
close all of the Web Tools windows and log in again to avoid a firmware version mismatch. Note that
for chassis-based switches, you might get popup messages that imply the loss of connection is
temporary and will soon be resolved. You must still close all windows and re-log in.
When you request a firmware download, the system first checks the file size being downloaded. If
the compact flash does not have enough space, Web Tools displays a message and the download
does not occur. If this happens, contact your switch support supplier.
To download a new firmware version, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 31.
2. Select the Firmware Download tab.
3. Choose to download either the Firmware or the Firmware key.
