remote server into the switch. Uploading is the transfer of files from the switch to a

You can retrieve configuration settings from the switch as a binary file and send a
binary configuration file to the switch. This allows you to back up the configuration
or to easily update the configuration of multiple switches. Additionally, you can
provide a configuration file to IBM support personnel for problem determination.
The last-saved configuration used by the switch is retained after a code update or a
reset.
The switch displays result messages to indicate the status of a file transfer. Table 11
