Use HTTP to download a software file or
another type of file to the switch

You can download files of various types from a computer to the switch through an HTTP
session on your web browser.

To use HTTP to download a file from a computer to the switch:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. 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 Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login

button.

The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.

The System Information page displays.

5. Select Maintenance > Upgrade > HTTP File Upgrade.

The HTTP 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. This is the default setting.

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.
