Upgrading Software
The Software Upgrade feature allows you to down-
load new software images using TFTP running over
UDP/IP.
When 3Com Corporation issues a new version of the
software image for the Switch 2000 TR, you can
obtain it from the 3Com Bulletin Board Service. See
“3Com Bulletin Board Service in Appendix F.
You can download a version of the software image
from a single unit in a stack. In most cases this unit
will be the head unit. The file name “Unit # n” (see
the Field Name field in Figure 3-14) is reserved for
that purpose, where “n” specifies the ID of the unit
from which the download occurs.

download proceeds from the head unit:

file.
