Upgrading Software
The Software Upgrade feature allows you to down-
load new software images using TFTP running over 
UDP/IP. 
When 3Com Corporation issues a new version of the 
software image for the Switch 2000 TR, you can 
obtain it from the 3Com Bulletin Board Service. See 
“3Com Bulletin Board Service in Appendix F.
