Installing and Configuring the Core Switch 2/64
85 Core Switch 2/64 V4.1 Installation Guide
Saving the System Configuration Files
Upload the switch configuration file for disaster recovery and keep it in a safe
place where it can be easily found. Backing up the configuration after the initial
configuration changes is strongly recommended. A routine backup of the
configuration is also recommended to ensure the current configuration is available
if needed.
Backing up the Switch Configuration Settings
Use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) on Windows or UNIX workstations to backup
the system configuration. The FTP server must be running before an upload can
occur.
1. Verify that the FTP service is running on the host workstation.
2. Log in to the switch as the admin user.
3. At the command line enter the following command:
configUpload “ hostIPaddr ”, “ user ”, “ path_filename ”,” password ”
The hostIPaddr is the IP address of the host computer, user is the User ID for
this computer, path_filename is the path location of the configuration file, and
password is the password for the user ID specified.
If you only enter
configUpload,
the system prompts you for each
parameter, as shown in the following example:
switch:admin> configupload
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 123.45.678.901
User Name [user]: kelev
File Name [config.txt]: switch1
Protocol (RSHD or FTP) [rshd]: ftp
