Transfer a New Management Configuration File to the Switch:

The Switch contains a file called config which contains the current management configuration of the Switch management processes, including the IP network configuration parameters, and the SNMP configuration parameters.

Use the instructions in the Retrieving the Current Switch Management Configuration File ( config ) paragraphs to read the Switch’s configuration file. Use a text editor to modify the parameters in the configuration file and then transfer it back to the Switch.

To transfer the Switch configuration file to the Switch:

1.Connect to the Switch using TFTP.

2.Select text file transfer mode.

3.Transfer the file named config.

If the file transfer succeeds, the new configuration file has been saved in the management processor, and will be loaded next time the Switch is reset. A reset operation takes place when the Switch power is cycled. You may also reset the Switch using TFTP. This is described later in this section.

For example, your TFTP session may look like this if you are using a Unix management station:

#tftp	(Start TFTP)
tftp> connect 10.0.0.1	(Connect to the Switch)
tftp> text	(Select text file transfer mode)
text mode

tftp> put config.new config (Transfer the file named config. ) transferred 257 bytes in 0.5 seconds.

tftp> quit	(Exit TFTP)
