Important Considerations
■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 syste m fi le Tr an sfer option. The
SuperStack®II Switch 3900, Switch 9300, and the CoreBuilder 9400
use TFTP to transfer files.
Before you transfe r 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 fileTr an sfer,
you must enter a login name and password if y ou 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.
2 From the top level of the Administration Con sole, enter:
system snapshot save
3Enter the IP address of the host on which you want to sa ve 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.)
