3.2.5Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings

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

When downloading configuration files, note the following points:

The destination file name should not contain slashes (\ or /).

The leading character of the file name should not be a period (.).

The maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is 127 characters.

The maximum length for file names on the switch is 32 characters.

Valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, and “_”.

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

3.2.5.1Downloading 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 configuration file as the destination file to overwrite it. Note that Factory_Default_Config.cfg can be copied to the TFTP server but cannot be used as the destination on the switch (it cannot be overwritten).

2.Type the IP address of the TFTP server.

3.Type the name of the file to download, select a file on the switch to overwrite, or specify a new file name.
