F3215-HP Load Balancing Module System Maintenance Configuration Guide-6PW101

IMPORTANT:

The system software image file used for the next startup must be saved in the root directory of the stora

medium. If the storage medium is partitioned, the system software image file must be saved in the first

partition. You can copy or move a file to the root directory. For more information about the boot-loade

command, see

System Management Command Reference

# Reboot LB, and the system software image file is updated at the system reboot.

Using the device as an FTP server

If the device is operating as an FTP server, make sure the following requirements are met to ensure

successful FTP operations:

• The device and the FTP server can reach each other.

• Configure a user account (including the username, password, and authorization) on the device or

a remote authentication server for an FTP user. This task is required because the device does not

support anonymous FTP for security reasons. By default, authenticated users can access the root

directory of the device.

• The FTP user provides the correct username and password.

NOTE:

hen you use the Internet Explorer browser to log in to the device operating as an FTP server, some FTP

functions are not available. This is because multiple connections are required durin

the lo

in process bu

the device supports only one connection at a time.

Configuring basic parameters

The FTP server uses one of the following modes to update a file when you upload the file (use the put

command) to the FTP server:

• Fast mode—The FTP server starts writing data to the storage medium after a file is transferred to the

memory. This prevents the existing file on the FTP server from being corrupted if an anomaly, such

as a power failure, occurs during a file transfer.

• Normal mode—The FTP server writes data to the storage medium while receiving data. This means

that any anomaly, such as a power failure, during file transfer might result in file corruption on the

FTP server. This mode, however, consumes less memory space than fast mode.

To configure basic parameters for the FTP server:
