GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual Before you download a file to the switch, the following conditions must be true: • The file to download from the TFTP server is on the server in the appropriate directory. • The file is in the correct format. • The switch has a path to the TFTP server. To download a file to the switch from a TFTP server: 1. From the File Type menu, Specify what type of file you want to download to the switch: • Code: The code is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash sectors called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy; while the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active image. If the active image is corrupt, the system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade process. • Text Configuration: A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured text file (startup-config) offline as needed without having to translate the contents for the switch to understand. The most common usage of text-based configuration is to upload a working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for another similar device (for example, change the device name, serial number, IP address), and download it to that device. • Boot Code: The boot code used to automatically boot the system. Boot code might need to be downloaded to the switch when downgrading the software image to an older version. CAUTION: Downloading boot code to the switch that is not compatible with the software image can make the switch unusable. Make sure the boot code is appropriate for the software image version before downloading the boot code. • SSL Trusted Root Certificate PEM File: SSL Trusted Root Certificate File (PEM Encoded). • SSL Server Certificate PEM File: SSL Server Certificate File (PEM Encoded). • SSL DH Weak Encryption Parameter PEM File: SSL Diffie-Hellman Weak Encryption Parameter File (PEM Encoded). • SSL DH Strong Encryption Parameter PEM File: SSL Diffie-Hellman Strong Encryption Parameter File (PEM Encoded). 2. If you are downloading a GS108T or GS110TP image (Code), select the image on the switch to overwrite. This field is only visible when Code is selected as the File Type. Note: It is recommended that you not overwrite the active image. The system will display a warning that you are trying to overwrite the 224 | Chapter 7: Maintaining the System

The file to download from the TFTP server is on the server in the appropriate directory.
The file is in the correct format.
The switch has a path to the TFTP server.
To download a file to the switch from a TFTP server:
1.
From the
File Type
menu, Specify what type of file you want to download to the switch:
Code
: The code is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash
sectors called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy;
while the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the
active image. If the active image is corrupt, the system automatically boots from the
non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade
process.
Text Configuration
: A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured
text file (startup-config) offline as needed without having to translate the contents for
the switch to understand. The most common usage of text-based configuration is to
upload a working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for
another similar device (for example, change the device name, serial number, IP
address), and download it to that device.
Boot Code
: The boot code used to automatically boot the system. Boot code might
need to be downloaded to the switch when downgrading the software image to an
older version.
CAUTION:
Downloading boot code to the switch that is not compatible with the
software image can make the switch unusable. Make sure the boot code is
appropriate for the software image version before downloading the boot
code.
SSL Trusted Root Certificate PEM File
: SSL Trusted Root Certificate File (PEM
Encoded).

: SSL Server Certificate File (PEM Encoded).
SSL DH Weak Encryption Parameter PEM File
: SSL Diffie-Hellman Weak
Encryption Parameter File (PEM Encoded).
SSL DH Strong Encryption Parameter PEM File
: SSL Diffie-Hellman Strong
Encryption Parameter File (PEM Encoded).

If you are downloading a GS108T or GS110TP image (Code), select the image on the
switch to overwrite. This field is only visible when Code is selected as the File Type.
Note:
It is recommended that you not overwrite the active image. The
system will display a warning that you are trying to overwrite the
