Loading the host software is the same as loading the Boot ROM program, except that the file to be

the host software used for the next startup of the switch.

The remote loading using TFTP is similar to that using FTP. The only difference is that TFTP is used to 

load software to the switch, and the switch can only act as a TFTP client.
