Managing System Files Loading Software onto the Switch

OmniSwitch 6250/6450 Switch Management Guide May 2012 page 1-21

Note. If you are using Authenticated Switch Access (ASA), the port interface must be authenticated for

FTP use and the username profile must have permission to use FTP. Otherwise the switch will not accept

an FTP login. For information about ASA, refer to Chapter 10, “Managing Switch Security.”

2 Specify the transfer mode. If you are transferring a switch image file, you must specify the binary

transfer mode on your FTP client. If you are transferring a configuration file, you must specify the ASCII

transfer mode.

3 Transfer the file. Use the FTP “put” command or click the client download button to send the file to

the switch.

When you use FTP to transfer a file to the switch, the file is automatically placed in the switch /flash/

working directory. For details on using CLI commands to managing files once they are on the switch see

“File and Directory Management” on page 1-5.

Note. You must use the binary mode (bin) to transfer files via FTP.

Using the Switch as an FTP Client

Using the switch as an FTP client is useful in cases where you do not have access to a workstation with an

FTP client. You can establish an FTP session locally by connecting a terminal to the switch console port.

You can also establish an FTP session to a remote switch by using a Telnet session. Once you are logged

into the switch as an FTP client, you can use standard FTP commands.

Note. If you are using Authenticated Switch Access (ASA), the port interface must be authenticated for

FTP and Telnet use. The login profile must also have permission to use FTP. Otherwise the switch will not

accept an FTP login. For information about ASA and user privileges, refer to Chapter 10, “Managing

Switch Security.”

Use the switch ftp command to start its FTP client.
