Uploading or Downloading the Configuration File
The procedure in this section allows you to download a different
configuration file onto the switch from a TFTP server, or upload the file to a
TFTP server. To return a switch to its default configuration values, refer to
“Returning the AT-S81 Management Software to the Factory Default
Values” on page 59.
 Before downloading a configuration file onto the
switch, note the following:
 Your network must have a node with TFTP server
software.
 You must store the new configuration file on the TFTP
server.
 You should start the TFTP server software before you
begin the procedure.
 The switch where you are downloading the
configuration file must have an IP address and subnet
mask. For instructions on how to configure the IP
address on a switch, refer to “Configuring the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address” on
page 32 or “Enabling and Disabling the DHCP Client”
on page 35.
 When you download a new configuration file onto the
switch, the new file overrides the current file and the
current file is lost unless you uploaded it to a TFTP
server before you replaced it.
Note
The configuration file contains only those settings that have been
changed since the switch was last reset to the default settings.
