D-Link xStack DXS-3350SR Installation & User Manual - Tftp Services
DXS-3350SR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
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
settings can be saved to the TFTP server, and a history log can be uploaded from the Switch to the TFTP server.
Download Firmware
To update the Switch’s firmware, open the TFTP Services folder in the Maintenance folder and then click the Download
Firmware link:
Figure 9- 1. Download Firmware window
Select which switch of a switch stack you want to update the firmware on. This allows the selection of a particular switch
from a switch stack if you have installed the optional stacking module and have properly interconnected the switches. All
indicates all switches in a switch stack will download the same firmware.
Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the Server IP Address field.
Select the Image ID of the firmware. The DXS-3350SR can hold two firmware images in its memory. Image ID 1 will
always be the boot up firmware for the Switch unless specified by the user. Information on configuring Section IDs can be
found in this section, under the heading MULTIPLE IMAGE Services.
The TFTP server must be on the same IP subnet as the Switch.
Enter the path and the filename to the firmware file on the TFTP server. Note that in the above example, the firmware file is
in the root directory of the D drive of the TFTP server.
The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform the file transfer. TFTP server software is a part of many
network management software packages – such as NetSight, or can be obtained as a separate program.
Click Start torecord the IP address of the TFTP server.
