18.2.3 Backup Configuration Using TFTP

The G-1000 supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To backup the configuration file, follow the procedure shown next:

1Use telnet from your computer to connect to the G-1000 and log in. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the G-1000 records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

2Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System Maintenance.
