Use the following procedure to upgrade, save, or restore a binary configuration, image, or diagnostic file.
You can use the Config/Image/Diag file tab to transfer binary files to or from a TFTP server or a USB storage device. You can upgrade the switch agent image or diagnostic image.
You must enter a value in the Usb TargetUnit field. Type 1 to 8 for a unit, 9 for a standalone unit, 0 for TFTP server, or 10 for SFTP server.
The transfer process occurs immediately after clicking Apply. You can only perform one action at a time.
If you are downloading an agent image, the process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it with the new image. Do not interrupt the download process. Depending on network conditions, the process can take up to 10 minutes. When the download process is complete, the switch can automatically reset and the new software image initiates a self test. During the agent image download process, the switch is not operational.
The following table describes managing binary configuration, image, and diagnostic files.
