upload configuration
ExtremeWare 7.7 Command Reference Guide 1159
upload configuration
upload configuration [<ip address> | <hostname>] <filename> {every <time>}
Description
Uploads the current configuration to a TFTP server on your network.
Syntax Description
Default
Uploads the current configuration immediately.
Usage Guidelines
The filename can be up to 255 characters long, and cannot include any spaces, commas, quotation
marks, or special characters. Unless you include a path with the filename, this command places the file
in the same directory as the TFTP server itself.
The uploaded ASCII file retains the command-line interface (CLI) format. This allows you to do the
following:
• Modify the configuration using a text editor, and later download a copy of the file to the same
switch, or to one or more different switches.
• Send a copy of the configuration file to Extreme Networks Technical Support for problem-solving
purposes.
If
every <time>
is specified, the switch automatically saves the configuration to the server once per
day, at the specified time. Because the filename is not changed, the configured file stored in the TFTP
server is overwritten every day.
For version 4.0:
• The keyword
every
is not supported. Specify the time immediately after the filename.
For version 6.0 or later:
• The keyword
every
is required if a time is specified.
To cancel automatic upload, use the
cancel
option. If no options are specified, the current configuration
is uploaded immediately.
Use of the
hostname
parameter requires that DNS be enabled.
To view information about the scheduled upload, use the
show switch
command.
ip address Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.
hostname Specifies the hostname of the TFTP server.
filename Specifies a name for the file where the configuration is to be saved.
time The time of day in the format <hour (0-23)>:<minutes (0-59)>.
