Downloading System Software

Using TFTP to Download Over the Network

Use the TFTP Download menu to load software updates into the switch. The

download file should be an OmniStack

6124 binary file from Alcatel; otherwise the

agent will not accept it. The success of the download operation depends on the

accessibility of the TFTP server and the quality of the network connection. After

downloading the new software, the agent will automatically restart itself. Parameters

shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.

Note: You can also download firmware using the Web agent (page 3-13) or by a direct

console connection after a restart (page A-2).
