Flash Memory Storage
The BayStack 350 switch uses flash memory to store the switch software image.
Flash memory allows you to update the software image with a newer version
without changing the switch hardware. An in-band connection between the switch
and the TFTP load host is required to download the software image (refer to
“Software Download” on page 3-48). For information about connecting a console
terminal for this procedure, refer to “Service Port Cabling” on page 3-2.

If a BootP server is set up properly on the network and the BayStack 350 switch
detects a corrupted software image during the self-test, the switch automatically
uses TFTP to download a new software image.

BootP Automatic IP Configuration
The BayStack 350 switch has a unique 48-bit hardware address, or media access
control (MAC) address, that is printed on a label on the back panel. You use this
MAC address when you configure the network BootP server to recognize the
BayStack 350 switch BootP requests. A properly configured BootP server enables
the switch to automatically learn its assigned IP address, subnet mask, IP address
of the default router (default gateway), and software image file name. Refer to
Appendix D, “Sample BootP Configuration File,” for an example of a BootP
configuration file.
