Chapter 37 Maintenance If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to rename them as the Switch only recognizes "config" and "ras". Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use. Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model firmware may damage your device. 37.7.3 FTP Command Line Procedure 1 Launch the FTP client on your computer. 2 Enter open, followed by a space and the IP address of your Switch. 3 Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username. 4 Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234"). 5 Enter bin to set transfer mode to binary. 6 Use put to transfer files from the computer to the Switch, for example, put firmware.bin ras-0 transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the Switch and renames it to "ras-0". Similarly, put config.cfg config transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to the Switch and renames it to "config". Likewise get config config.cfg transfers the configuration file on the Switch to your computer and renames it to "config.cfg". See Table 151 on page 305 for more information on filename conventions. 7 Enter quit to exit the ftp prompt. 37.7.4 GUI-based FTP Clients The following table describes some of the commands that you may see in GUI-based FTP clients.
