VES-1000 Series Ethernet Switch
21-2 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
21.2 Backup Configuration
The VES displays different messages explaining different ways to backup, restore and upload files in menus 24.5,
24.6, 24. 7.1 and 24.7.2; depending on whether you use the console port or Telnet.
Option 5 from Menu 24 — System Maintenance allows you to backup the current configuration to your
computer for your VES. Backup is highly recommended once your VES is functioning properly. FTP is the
preferred methods for backing up your current configuration to your computer since they are faster. You can also
perform backup and restore using menu 24 through the console port. Any serial communications program should
work fine; however, you must use Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload and you don’t have to
rename the files (see
section 21.1 ).
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer from
the VES to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the VES.
21.2.1 Backup Configuration
Follow the instructions as shown in the next screen.
