FTP Configuration: The Device Operating as an FTP Client
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 1-5, the device operates as an FTP client and a remote PC as an FTP server. The
configuration file of the switching engine named config.cfg is stored on the PC. Download it to the
switching engine through FTP and use the startup saved-configuration command to specify
config.cfg as the main configuration file for next startup, and then reboot the device.
z Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name “switch” and password “hello”, and
grant the user “switch” read and write permissions for the directory named “Switch” on the PC.
z Configure the IP address 1.1.1.1 for a VLAN interface on the device, and 2.2.2.2 for the PC. Ensure
a route exists between the device and the PC.
