Downloading the Configuration File

You use FTP to download the configdata file to your workstation for safe keeping and to upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the configdata file, open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Get command as shown in the following example:

>ftp ip_address

user:images password: images ftp>bin

ftp>get configdata

xxxxxbytes sent in xx secs.

ftp>quit

You should rename the configdata file on your workstation with the switch name and date, config_switch_169_10112003, for example.
