SNR S2940-8G-v2 Switch Configuration Guide
Basic Switch Configuration
FTP/TFTP clients, as file list service as FTP server.
Here are some terms frequently used in FTP/TFTP.
ROM: Short for EPROM, erasable read-only memory. EPROM is repalced by FLASH memory
in switch.
SDRAM: RAM memory in the switch, used for system software operation and configuration
sequence storage.
FLASH: Flash memory used to save system file and configuration file.
System file: including system image file and boot file.
System image file: refers to the compressed file for switch hardware driver and software
support program, usually refer to as IMAGE upgrade file. In switch, the system image file is
allowed to save in FLASH only. Switch mandates the name of system image file to be uploaded
via FTP in Global Mode to be nos.img, other IMAGE system files will be rejected.
Boot file: refers to the file initializes the switch, also referred to as the ROM upgrade file (Large
size file can be compressed as IMAGE file). In switch, the boot file is allowed to save in ROM only.
Switch mandates the name of the boot file to be boot.rom.
Configuration file: including start up configuration file and running configuration file. The
distinction between start up configuration file and running configuration file can facilitate the backup
and update of the configurations.
Start up configuration file: refers to the configuration sequence used in switch startup.
Startup configuration file stores in nonvolatile storage, corresponding to the so-called configu-
ration save. If the device does not support CF, the configuration file stores in FLASH only, if the
device supports CF, the configuration file stores in FLASH or CF, if the device supports multi-
config file, names the configuration file to be .cfg file, the default is startup.cfg. If the device does
not support multi-config file, mandates the name of startup configuration file to be startup-config.
Running configuration file: refers to the running configuration sequence use in the switch.
In switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running
configuration sequence running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by write command or
copy running-config startup-config command, so that the running configuration sequence becomes
the start up configuration file, which is called configuration save. To prevent illicit file upload and
easier configuration, switch mandates the name of running configuration file to be running-config.
Factory configuration file: The configuration file shipped with switch in the name of factory-
config. Run set default and write, and restart the switch, factory configuration file will be loaded to
overwrite current start up configuration file.
FTP/TFTP Configuration
The configurations of switch as FTP and TFTP clients are almost the same, so the configuration
procedures for FTP and TFTP are described together in this manual.
FTP/TFTP Configuration Task List
1. FTP/TFTP client configuration
(a) Upload/download the configuration file or system file.
(b) For FTP client, server file list can be checked.
2. FTP server configuration
