loading the switch configuration file to a TFTP server.

to upgrade your switch to the new software release.

Once the IP address of the TFTP and the path location of the new software image file is properly

configured, the user can choose to boot the switch using one of three options.

Please refer to

Chapter 2 Software Upgrade Procedure when updating software.

• Net option:. This option allows you to try out a new image before upgrading. It requires a

TFTP filename and a server IP address to retrieve the specified image from the given IP

address. The new image will not overwrite the one in non-volatile memory.

• Net & save option.This option requires the same setup as the Net option, i.e. TFTP server and

a new image. However, it copies the image to non-volatile memory directly and then the

system boots from non-volatile memory

Warning: The previous image in non-volatile memory will be lost when the procedure

completes.
