Backing Up
Your Current
Configurations
The upgrade may change some settings to new defaults, and this
may or may not cause a problem.
To ensure your ability to restore your current switch configurations
after the software upgrade, you need to back up the following
configuration files to your TFTP server:
❑ SYSTEM.CUR contains the majority of the configuration files
❑ AGENT.CNF contains location, contact, and SNMP
management information (backup optional)
1. Log in to the switch and PING the TFTP server to verify
communications:
2. Assign an IP address to the TFTP server:
3. If you are using a UNIX TFTP server, the file must exist (for
example, system.001 ) in the directory path indicated in the
/etc/inetd.conf file. It must also have read, write, and
execute permissions for everyone:
4. In your switch, backup the configuration files by using the TFTP/
UPLOAD/CFG command. In this command, you need to specify
the name of the file(s) you want to backup:
/ > ping 192.48.127.124
192.48.127.124 is alive
/ > tftp/server
IP address of the tftp server ( ) : 192.48.127.124
