Transferring Switch Configurations

Using XGet and XPut To Transfer a Configuration Between the Switch and a PC or Unix Workstation

The PC or workstation must be operating as a VT100 or ANSI terminal and connected directly to the switch’s console port. Also, the PC or workstation must be running an Xmodem-compatible terminal emulation program. If a manager password has been set, you must log on to the switch using that password in order to execute the Xget or Xput commands.

XGet overwrites the switch’s current configuration with the downloaded

 

configuration. The switch then automatically reboots itself.

 

 

To use XGet or XPut, you need the name assigned to the configuration file on the PC or workstation.

1.On the PC or workstation, start the Xmodem-compatible terminal emula- tion program, then follow the instructions provided with the program to prepare for a file transfer.

2.From the switch’s Main Menu select:

5.Diagnostics...

4.Command Prompt

3.At the command prompt, execute one of the following commands:

To upload a configuration to a file on a PC or Unix workstation:

xput config remote_file [pc/unix]

To download a configuration from a file on a PC or Unix workstation:

xget config remote_file [pc/unix]

where: remote_file is the name of the file in which the configuration is to be stored (put), or is stored (get)

[pc/unix] is one of the following optional values:

unix (the default) specifies the Unix file format.

pc specifies the PC file format.

If the PC or workstation does not respond to an XPut or XGet command, the command times out and control returns to the Command Prompt line.
