Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Downloading Configuration File from a TFTP Server
IMPORTANT: Configuration files used in the earlier version of the switch module (firmware version 1.0)
are not supported by the present version (firmware version 2.0). The switch module Information window
displays the firmware version.
A configuration file can be downloaded from a TFTP server to the switch module. This file is
then used by the switch module to configure itself. Beginning in firmware version 2.0.0,
switch firmware configuration files are specified in XML format.
Downloaded XML configuration files do not need to specify every possible parameter. Only
the configuration parameters specified will be modified; others will remain unchanged.
To download a GbE Interconnect Switch configuration file from a TFTP server:
1. Highlight Use Configuration File on TFTP Server on the Switch Utilities menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
3. Type the IP address of the TFTP server in the Server IP Address field.
4. Type the port number of the TFTP server you wish to connect to in the Server TFTP
Port Number field.
5. Type the location of the GbE Interconnect Switch configuration file on the TFTP server
in the Path\Filename field.
6. Highlight APPLY.
7. Press the Enter key to record the IP address and location of the TFTP server.
8. Highlight START.
9. Press the Enter key to initiate the file transfer.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.
NOTE: For additional information, refer to Appendix I, XML Configuration, in the HP ProLiant BL
