Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services allow the switch firmware to be upgraded by
transferring a new firmware file from a TFTP server to the GbE Interconnect Switch. A
configuration file can also be loaded into the GbE Interconnect Switch from a TFTP server,
GbE Interconnect Switch settings can be saved to the TFTP server, and a history log can be
uploaded from the GbE Interconnect Switch to the TFTP server.
IMPORTANT: The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform a file transfer. TFTP
server software is included with the GbE Interconnect Switch as part of the utilities package.
