You can upload/download firmware to or from a TFTP server, or copy 
files to and from switch units in a stack. By saving runtime code to a file on 
a TFTP server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore 
operation. You can also set the switch to use new firmware without 
overwriting the previous version. You must specify the method of file 
transfer, along with the file type and file names as required. 

•

File Transfer Method – The firmware copy operation includes these 
options:
- file to file – Copies a file within the switch directory, assigning it a 

new name.

- file to tftp – Copies a file from the switch to a TFTP server.
- tftp to file – Copies a file from a TFTP server to the switch.
- file to unit

1

 – Copies a file from this switch to another unit in the 

stack.

- unit to file

 – Copies a file from another unit in the stack to this 

switch.

•

TFTP Server IP Address – The IP address of a TFTP server.

•

File Type – Specify opcode (operational code) to copy firmware.

•

File Name – 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 on the TFTP server is 127 characters 
or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, 
“.”, “-”, “_”)

Note: Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime 

firmware) can be stored in the file directory on the switch. The 
currently designated startup version of this file cannot be deleted.

1.  These operations are not supported for this switch.
