Using TFTP to Download the Configuration

You can download a previously saved configuration from a TFTP
server. To download a configuration, use the following command:

download configuration [ |

]

After the ASCII configuration file is downloaded by way of TFTP, you
are prompted to reboot the switch. The downloaded configuration
file is stored in an area of switch memory, and is not retained if the
switch has a power failure. When the switch is rebooted, it treats the
downloaded configuration file as a script of CLI commands. After the
script is executed, you should save the configuration to the primary
or secondary configuration area, in order to retain it through a power
cycle. If you are connected to the switch through the serial port, you
are reminded that it is necessary to save the configuration to
preserve.

You must reboot the switch if you made changes to the following
default settings:

❑ QoS mode (The default setting is ingress.)

❑ Enable/disable web access (The default setting is enabled.)
