The ASCII Config Download feature lets you upload an ASCII configuration file from a personal computer to the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series. In the current implementation, you require a TFTP server to upload an ASCII configuration file to the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series. But with this feature the requirement of a TFTP server is eliminated. This feature lets you upload an ASCII configuration file using the HTTP protocol.
