• File Type – Specify config (configuration) to copy configuration file.
• File Name — The configuration file name should not contain slashes
(\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.),
and the maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is 127
characters or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
Note: The maximum number of user-defined configuration files is
limited only by available flash memory space.
Downloading Configuration Settings from a Server
You can download the configuration file under a new file name and then
set it as the startup file, or you can specify the current startup
configuration file as the destination file to directly replace it. Note that the
file “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” can be copied to the TFTP server, but
cannot be used as the destination on the switch.
Web – Click System, File Management, Copy Operation. Select “tftp to
startup-config” or “tftp to file” and enter the IP address of the TFTP
server. Specify the name of the file to download and select a file on the
switch to overwrite or specify a new file name, then click Apply.
Figure 3-12. Downloading Configuration Settings for Startup
If you download to a new file name using “tftp to startup-config” or “tftp
to file,” the file is automatically set as the start-up configuration file. To use
the new settings, reboot the system via the System/Reset menu.
