Use the System > File (Set Start-Up) page to specify the firmware or configuration file to use for system initialization.
Use the System > File (Show) page to show the files in the system directory, or to delete a file.
Use the System > File (Copy) page to save the current configuration settings to a local file on the switch. The configuration settings are not automatically saved by the system for subsequent use when the switch is rebooted. You must save these settings to the current startup file, or to another file which can be subsequently set as the startup file.
The copy operation includes this option:
Copies the current configuration settings to a local file on the switch.
Copy to the currently designated startup file, or to a new file. The file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names is 32 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_")
Use the System > File (Copy) page to upload/download firmware or configuration settings using FTP, SFTP, TFTP or HTTP. By backing up a file to an FTP/SFTP/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.
The copy operation includes this option:
Copies a file from a FTP server to the switch.
Copies a file from the switch to a FTP server.
Copies a file from a TFTP server to the switch.
Copies a file from the switch to a TFTP server.
Copies a file from a management station to the switch.
Copies a file from the switch to a management station.
Copies a file from an SFTP server to the switch.
Copies a file from the switch to an SFTP server.
The IP address of an FTP/SFTP/TFTP server.
The user name for FTP/SFTP server access.
The password for FTP/SFTP server access.
Specify Operation Code to copy firmware.
Name of the file to copy from the file server.
Copy to the currently designated startup file, or to a new file. The file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), and the maximum length for file names is 32 characters for files on the switch or 127 characters for files on the server. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_")
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.
Enables the switch to search for an upgraded operation code file during the switch bootup process. (Default: Disabled)
Defines where the switch should search for the operation code upgrade file. The last character of this URL must be a forward slash ("/"). The file name must not be included since it is automatically appended by the switch. (Options: ftp, sftp, tftp)
