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 244.
Note
The configuration file contains only those settings that have been
changed since the switch was last reset to the default settings.
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 download 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.
