CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings

You can upload/download configuration settings to/from a TFTP server. The configuration file can be later downloaded to restore the switch’s settings.

Command Attributes

Destination File Name — The destination configuration file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and the length of file name should be 1 to 31 characters. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)

The maximum number of user-defined configuration files is limited only by available Flash memory space.

You can save the configuration file under a new file name and then set it as the startup file, or you can specify the current startup configuration 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 a destination file name on the switch.

Web – Click System/Configuration. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server, enter the name of the file to download, select a file on the switch to overwrite or specify a new file name, and then click “Transfer from Server.”
