The switch can function as the TFTP client, FTP client, or FTP server. For more information about FTP and TFTP, see the FTP and TFTP configuration in the fundamentals configuration guide.
Using FTP to download upgrade file
This section uses the switch as an FTP client to download files from an FTP server.
Downloading software images at the CLI

|
NOTE: The BootWare menu varies by switch model and BootWare version. This section uses an S10500 switch as an example. |
1. Set up an upgrade environment as described in "Preparing for the upgrade."
2. Run the FTP server program on a PC (its IP address is 192.168.0.23), and set the working directory, FTP username, and password. Store the upgrade file on the working directory of the FTP server.
3. Make sure the PC and the switch can reach each other.
4. Log in to the switch, and access the root directory of the storage medium for the startup software images.
<Sysname> cd flash:/
<Sysname>
|
|
NOTE: If the storage medium to which the startup software images are downloaded is not the specified storage medium, access the root directory of the storage medium of startup software images before downloading the software images. |
5. Download the upgrade file (newest.ipe in this example) to the storage medium on the switch.
# Log in to the FTP server.
<Sysname> ftp 192.168.0.23

Downloading software images from the BootWare menu
1. Set up an upgrade environment as described in "Preparing for the upgrade."
2. Run the FTP server program on a PC (its IP address is 192.168.0.23), and set the working directory, FTP username, and password. Store the upgrade file on the working directory of the FTP server.
3. Run the terminal emulation program on the PC, and power on the switch. Press Ctrl+B at prompt to access the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu.
