Uploading and Downloading System Configuration Files
The switch configuration information can also be downloaded and
saved to a file on a workstation. This file can then be used to restore the
configuration information to the same switch or can be uploaded to
other switches of the same family that need to be configured identically.
TFTP is used to download and upload the switch configuration
information. Please refer to the section Using TFTP to Upgrade
Software on page 134 for requirements and instructions for using TFTP.
The only difference is you must now use the Config Download Password
to access the switch configuration information. By default this Config
Download Password is set to config and is case sensitive. Changing this
default password to an unique password will prevent unauthorized
personnel from copying or uploading an unauthorized configuration to
the switch. See the section Configuring IP Parameters on page 38 for
instructions on how to change the download password.
The basic TFTP parameters for downloading and uploading the switch
configuration information would be as follows.
Host - This is the IP address of the switch that you are uploading or
downloading the configuration information to.
Binary or ANSI - You need to specify binary mode for the file transfer.
Get or Put - The Get command is used to download a copy of the switch
configuration information to a file on the workstation. The Put
command is used to upload an existing switch configuration file to the
switch.
Source file - When using the Put command to upload a configuration
file to the switch, enter the path and filename of the configuration file
that is to be uploaded. When using the Get command to download the
software from a switch, enter the Config Download Password here.
Destination file - When using the Put command to upload a
configuration file to the switch, enter the Config Download Password
here. When using the Get command to download the configuration
information from a switch, enter the path and filename of the file that
you want to save the information to.
Note
The switch configuration file created with these procedures cannot
be edited.
