server
You can store switch configuration parameters on a TFTP server. You can retrieve
the configuration parameters of a switch and use the retrieved parameters to
automatically configure a replacement switch.
To store a switch configuration, you must set up the file on your TFTP server and
set the filename read/write permission to enabled.
To download the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch configuration file, a properly
configured Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server must be present in your
network, and the BayStack 380-24F switch must have an IP address.
To learn how to configure the switch IP address, refer to “Configuring BootP, IP,
and gateway settings” on page 42 .
