Configure the TFTP client (the switch):

# Assign IP address 1.1.1.1/16 to VLAN-interface 1. (You can log in to the switch 
through the Console port. For detailed information, see “Logging in through the 
Console Port” in the Configuration Guide for your product.)

<3Com>

<3Com> system-view

[3Com] interface Vlan-interface 1

[3Com-Vlan-interface1] ip address 1.1.1.1 16

[3Com-Vlan-interface1] return 

# Download the switch application named switch.bin from the TFTP server to the 
switch, and upload the switch configuration file named config.cfg to the TFTP 
server.

<3Com> tftp 2.2.2.2 get switch.bin switch.bin

<3Com> tftp 2.2.2.2 put config.cfg config.cfg 

# Use the boot boot-loader command to specify the downloaded file to be the 
startup file for next startup of the switch and restart the switch to complete the 
switch application upgrade.

<3Com> boot boot-loader switch.bin

<3Com> reboot 

Configure the switch

#

vlan 1

#

interface Vlan-interface1

ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.0.0 

■

If the free Flash memory of the switch is not enough for downloading the 
application file from the TFTP server, remove those unused applications from 
the Flash memory before downloading the file.

■

It is not recommended to directly remove applications in use. If removing some 
applications in use is a must to get enough space, you can use the BootROM 
menu to remove them.
