Insight Managed 28-Port and 52-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switches
Upgrade the Software or Download a File to the Switch Using
TFTP
You can upgrade software and download the image file, the configuration files, and SSL files
from a TFTP server to the switch.
Before you download a file to the switch, the following conditions must be true:
• The file to download from the TFTP server is on the server in the appropriate directory.
• The file is in the correct format.
• The switch contains a path to the TFTP server.
 To upgrade software or download a file from a TFTP server to the switch:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Maintenance > Upgrade > TFTP File Upgrade.
The TFTP File Upgrade page displays.
6. From the File Type menu, select the type of file:
• Software. The system software image, which is saved in one of two flash sectors
called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy, while
the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active
image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from the
nonactive image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade
process. The default setting is Software.
• Text Configuration. A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured
text file (startup-config) offline as needed. The most common usage of
text-based configuration is to upload a working configuration from a device, edit it
offline to personalize it for another similar device (for example, change the device
name or IP address), and download it to that device.
• SSH-1 RSA Key File. SSH-1 Rivest-Shamir-Adelman (RSA) Key file.
