Enter the following command to upload a configuration file called
“frank2.cfg” from the switch onto a TFTP server with an IP address of
192.58.48.1. The file on the TFTP server is called “at100v103.cfg:”
switch# copy frank2.cfg 192.58.48.1 at100v103.cfg
For more information about this command, see “COPY DEFAULT.CFG”
on page 84.
Downloading A Configuration File from an TFTP Server
To download a configuration file from a TFTP sever to the switch, use the
COPY A.B.C.D command. You may want to download a configuration file
from a backup server onto your switch. You must have the IP address of
the TFTP server to set this command.
To download a configuration file from an TFTP Server, do the following:
1. Enter the following command to download a configuration file called
“jenny3.cfg” from a TFTP server with an IP address of 192.58.48.1
onto your switch. The new file is called “at100v103.cfg.”
switch# copy 192.58.48.1 jenny3.cfg at100v103.cfg
The system responds with the following message:
% operation completed.
2. Reboot the switch to make the new configuration file the active
configuration file. Enter:
switch# system reboot
3. Log onto the switch with the username of “manager” and the password
“friend.”
For more information about this command, see “COPY A.B.C.D” on
page 82.
Creating VLANs
A VLAN is a group of ports on an Ethernet switch that form a logical
Ethernet segment. The ports of a VLAN form an independent traffic
domain where the traffic generated by the nodes of a VLAN remains within
the VLAN.
With VLANs, you can segment your network through the switch’s AT-S100
Management Software and group nodes with related functions into their
own separate, logical LAN segments. These VLAN groupings can be
based on similar data needs or security requirements. For example, you
could create separate VLANs for the different departments in your
company, such as one for the sales department and another for the
accounting department.
