Commands for Managing the Switch
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.

By default, the switch prompts you to overwrite an existing file. For example, if you have a file named
test.cfg on the switch and download a file named test.cfg from a TFTP server, the switch displays a
message similar to the following:
test.cfg already exists, do you want to overwrite it? (y/n)
Enter
y
to download the file and overwrite the existing file. Enter
n
to cancel this action.
If you successfully download the file, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Downloading test.cfg to switch... done!
If you cancel this action, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Tftp download aborted.
If you specify the
force-overwrite
parameter, the switch automatically overwrites an existing file. For
example, if you have a file named test.cfg on the switch and download a file named test.cfg from a
TFTP server, the switch automatically overrides the existing file. If you successfully download the file,
the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Downloading test.cfg to switch... done!
This command was introduced to simplify using TFTP to transfer configuration, policy, and if
configured, core dump files from the switch to the TFTP server. You can continue to use the original
tftp
command introduced in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1.

Example
The following command retrieves and transfers the file test.pol from a TFTP server with an IP address
of 10.1.2.3 and renames the file august23.pol when transferred to the external memory card installed in
a modular switch:
tftp get 10.1.2.3 test.pol memory-card august23.pol
The following command retrieves the configuration file named meg-upload.cfg from a TFTP server with
an IP address of 10.10.10.10:
tftp get 10.10.10.10 meg_upload.cfg
