For example, to transfer the current switch configuration as an ASCII-based file named
meg_upload_config1.xsf to the TFTP server with an IP address of 10.10.10.10, do the following:
upload configuration 10.10.10.10 meg_upload_config1.xsf
If you successfully upload the configuration to the TFTP server, the switch displays a message similar to
the following:
Uploading meg_upload_config1.xsf to 10.10.10.10 ... done!
Downloading the ASCII Configuration File to the Switch.
To download the configuration from the TFTP
server to the switch, use the
tftp
command. For example, to retrieve the configuration file named meg-
upload_config1.xsf from a TFTP server with an IP address of 10.10.10.10, you can use one of the
following commands:
tftp 10.10.10.10 -g -r meg_upload_config1.xsf
tftp get 10.10.10.10 meg_upload_config1.xsf
If you successfully download the configuration to the switch, the switch displays a message similar to
the following:
Downloading meg_upload_config1.xsf to switch... done!
Verifying that the ASCII Configuration File is on the Switch.
To confirm that the ASCII configuration file is
on the switch, use the
ls
command. The file with a .xsf extension is the ASCII configuration.
The following sample output contains an ASCII configuration file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 98362 Nov 2 13:53 Nov022005.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 117136 Dec 12 12:56 epicenter.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 68 Oct 26 11:17 mcastgroup.pol
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 21203 Dec 13 15:40 meg_upload_config1.xsf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 119521 Dec 6 14:35 primary.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 96931 Nov 11 11:01 primary_11_11_05.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 92692 Jul 19 16:42 secondary.cfg
Loading the ASCII Configuration File.
After downloading the configuration file, you must load the new
configuration on the switch. To load and restore the ASCII configuration file, use the
load script
<script-file>
command. After issuing this command, the ASCII configuration quickly scrolls across
the screen.
The following is an example of the type of information displayed when loading the ASCII configuration
file:
script.meg_upload_config1.xsf.389 # enable snmp access
script.meg_upload_config1.xsf.390 # enable snmp traps
script.meg_upload_config1.xsf.391 # configure mstp region purple
script.meg_upload_config1.xsf.392 # configure mstp revision 3
script.meg_upload_config1.xsf.393 # configure mstp format 0
script.meg_upload_config1.xsf.394 # create stpd s0
Instead of entering each command individually, the script runs and loads the CLI on the switch.
Saving the Configuration.
After you load the configuration, save it to the configuration database for use
by the switch. This allows the switch to reapply the configuration after a switch reboot. To save the
