Upgrade the Software or Download a File to the Switch Using
a USB Device
You can upgrade the software and download files of various types from a USB storage device
to the switch.
 To upgrade the software or download a file a from a USB storage device 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 > Export > USB File Export.
The Upgrade File From USB 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, 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.
