Chapter 25 Maintenance
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config.cfg” on your computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to rename them as the switch only recognizes “config” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
"Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model firmware may damage your device.
25.10.2 FTP Command Line Procedure1Launch the FTP client on your computer.
2Enter open, followed by a space and the IP address of your switch.
3Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
4Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).
5Enter bin to set transfer mode to binary.
6Use put to transfer files from the computer to the switch, for example, put firmware.bin ras transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the switch and renames it to “ras”. Similarly, put config.cfg config transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to the switch and renames it to “config”. Likewise get config config.cfg transfers the configuration file on the switch to your computer and renames it “config.cfg.” See Table 60 on page 175 for more information on filename conventions.
7Enter quit to exit the ftp prompt.
