■The CoreBuilder 3500 uses the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer the files to the host, depending on the setting for the system fileTransfer option. The SuperStack® II Switch 3900, Switch 9300, and the CoreBuilder 9400 use TFTP to transfer files.

Before you transfer files:

■You must create the file to receive the snapshot images on an FTP or TFTP server before you send the images to the file.

■You supply the IP address of the host and specify the file according to the requirements of your TFTP or FTP implementation.

■Some TFTP implementations require that you store the file in the same directory in which the TFTP daemon (server) is running on the remote host.

■Because TFTP provides no user authentication, give the file loose permissions to make it publicly readable and writable. TFTP servers do not grant requests for file access.

■On the CoreBuilder 3500, if you use FTP for system fileTransfer, you must enter a login name and password if you are sending a file to an FTP server.

TFTP Procedure

1Create an empty file with open write permissions on the host to store the system display images.

2From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system snapshot save

3Enter the IP address of the host on which you want to save the display images.

4If your TFTP implementation requires a full path name, enter the full path of the file that is designated to contain the display images. (Some implementations allow you to specify only the file name and the system uses the default TFTP directory.)
