Table 5-1. Card Status Options (2 of 3)

NVRAM Cfg Loader A-A-D

Gives the user the ability to upload or download a copy of the card's binary configuration data to or from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.

Configuration File Name ±The file name may be a regular path name expression of directory names separated by a forward slash (/) ending with the file name. The total path name length must be less than 40 characters. If the TFTP server is hosted by a DOS machine, then directory and file names must follow the 8.3 naming convention imposed by DOS.

DOS Machine

If your server is hosted by a DOS machine, you must name the file to be uploaded using the DOS convention 8-character length. The system will automatically upload the configuration file and create directories and file names as needed.

UNIX Machine

If your server is hosted by a UNIX machine, the configuration file you name will not be created on the UNIX system by the TFTP server. It is critical that you work with your system administrator to plan the naming conventions for directories, filenames, and permissions so that anyone using the system has read and write permissions.

(This is a UNIX system security feature.)

NOTE: This must be done before you can upload files to a UNIX server.

TFTP Server IP Address ± Address in nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format. This address must be in the management domain.

TFTP Transfer Direction ± Upload-to-Server/Download-to-Server (Default = Upload-to- Server). Select Upload-to-Server to store a copy of the card's configuration on the server. Select Download-to-Server to have the file server send a copy of the stored configuration file to the card.

NOTE: After a download, the card must be reset for the new configuration to take effect.
