Uploading the
Active
Configuration
File
The first step to replacing the master switch of the stack is to upload the
active boot configuration file, which contains the configuration settings of
the stack, to your workstation or, alternatively, to a TFTP server. You’ll
download the file to the new switch later in these procedures.
If the current master switch is nonfunctional, perform this procedure on
whichever active switch in the stack has the lowest stack ID number.
This procedure explains how to upload the file using Zmodem from a local
management session. You may also upload the file from a Telnet, SSH or
web browser session. For instructions, refer to the AT-8100 Series
AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface User’s Guide or AT-8100 Series
AlliedWare Plus Web Browser User’s Guide.
To upload the active configuration file from the current master switch from
a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Start a local management session on the current master switch or, if
the master switch is not functional, on whichever switch is the current
master switch. (The master switch has the lowest stack ID number.)
For instructions, refer to “Starting a Local Management Session” on
page 82.
2. Move to the Privileged Exec mode with the ENABLE command and
enter the SHOW BOOT command to identify the name of the active
configuration file:
awplus> enable
awplus# show boot
Here is an example of the information the command displays.

“Current boot config” line.
3. Use the COPY FILENAME ZMODEM command in the Privileged Exec
mode to upload the file to your workstation. Here is the format of the
command:
copy filename .cfg zmodem
The filename variable is the name of the active boot configuration file
displayed with the SHOW CONFIG command in the previous step. Be
