This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config.cfg” on your
computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source,
you will need to rename them as the Switch only recognizes “config”, “ras-0”, and “ras-1”. Be sure
you keep unaltered copies of all files for later use.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong
model firmware may damage your device.
