Uploading a System File
The procedures in this section upload a system file from a switch to a
management workstation or TFTP server. You might perform one of
these procedures to upload a configuration file from a switch so that you
can modify it with a text editor at your management workstation. Or,
you might have created a CA certificate enrollment request on the
switch and need to upload it to your workstation prior to submitting it to
a CA.
Note
You cannot upload encryption keys from the switch. Encryption
keys have the extension “.ukf”.
This section contains the following procedures:
❑ Uploading a File from a Local Management Session on page 196
❑ Uploading a File from a Telnet Management Session on page 199
Guidelines
Review the following guidelines before uploading a file onto a switch.
❑ You can use either Xmodem or TFTP when uploading files from a
local management session.
❑ You must use TFTP when uploading files from a Telnet
management session.
Here are guidelines for an Xmodem upload:
❑ Xmodem can upload a file only from the switch where you started
the local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to
upload a file from a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
Here are guidelines for a TFTP upload:
❑ Your network must have a node with the TFTP server software.
❑ You should start the TFTP server software before beginning the
download procedure.
❑ The switch must have an IP address and subnet mask, such as a
master switch of an enhanced stack. For switches that do not have
an IP address, such as slave switches, you can perform the upload
from a local management session of the switch using Xmodem.
