•filename — Is the name of the ASCII file.
•every <time> — Specifies the time of day you want the configuration automatically uploaded on a daily basis.
•cancel — Cancels automatic upload, if it has been previously configured.
USING TFTP TO DOWNLOAD THE CONFIGURATION
You can download a previously saved configuration from a TFTP server. To download a configuration, use the following command:
download config <ipaddress> <filename>
After the ASCII configuration file is downloaded by way of TFTP, you are prompted to reboot the switch. The downloaded configuration file is stored in an area of switch memory, and is not retained if the switch has a power failure. When the switch is rebooted, it treats the downloaded configuration file as a scrip of CLI commands. After the script is executed, you are prompted to save the configuration.
