the TFTP server is 127 characters or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid
characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
Note: The maximum number of user-defined configuration files is limited only by

Downloading Configuration Settings from a Server
You can download the configuration file under a new file name and then set it as the
startup file, or you can specify the current startup configurat ion file as the destination
file to directly replace it. Note that the file “Factory_Default_Config.cfg ” can be
copied to the TFTP server, but cannot be used as the destination on the switch.
Web – Click System, File, Copy. Select “tftp to startup-config” or “tftp to file” and
enter the IP address of the TFTP server. Specify the name of the file to download
and select a file on the switch to overwrite or specify a new file name, then click
Apply.

If you download to a new file name using “tftp to star tup-config” or “tftp to file ,” the file
is automatically set as the start-up configuration file. To use the new settings, reboot
the system via the System/Reset menu.
