TFTP Services
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the Switch's firmware to be upgraded by transferring a new firmware file
from a TFTP server to the Switch. A configuration file can also be loaded into the Switch from a TFTP server. Switch
configuration settings can be saved and a history and attack log can be uploaded from the Switch to the TFTP server. The Switch
supports dual image storage for configuration and firmware. The firmware and configuration images are indexed by ID number 1
or 2. To change the boot firmware image, use the Config Firmware Image menu Multiple Image Services sub-directory. The
default Switch settings will use Image ID 1 as the boot configuration or firmware. To update the Switch's firmware or
configuration file, open the TFTP Services hyperlink, located in the Administration folder.
