PGRADE

Use the System > File (Automatic Operation Code Upgrade) page to

automatically download an operation code file when a file newer than the

currently installed one is discovered on the file server. After the file is

transferred from the server and successfully written to the file system, it is

automatically set as the startup file, and the switch is rebooted.

UIDELINES

If this feature is enabled, the switch searches the defined URL once

during the bootup sequence.

FTP (port 21) and TFTP (port 69) are both supported. Note that the

TCP/UDP port bindings cannot be modified to support servers listening

on non-standard ports.

The host portion of the upgrade file location URL must be a valid IPv4

IP address. DNS host names are not recognized. Valid IP addresses

consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.

The path to the directory must also be defined. If the file is stored in

the root directory for the FTP/TFTP service, then use the “/” to indicate

this (e.g., ftp://192.168.0.1/).

The file name must not be included in the upgrade file location URL.

The file name of the code stored on the remote server must be

ms453490m.bix (using upper case and lower case letters exactly as

indicated here). Enter the file name for other switches described in this

manual exactly as shown on the web interface.

The FTP connection is made with PASV mode enabled. PASV mode is

needed to traverse some fire walls, even if FTP traffic is not blocked.

PASV mode cannot be disabled.

The switch-based search function is case-insensitive in that it will

accept a file name in upper or lower case (i.e., the switch will accept

MS453490M.BIX from the server even though MS453490M.bix was
