Uploading a Configuration File or an Event Log File
This procedure explains how to upload a boot configuration file or an event
log file from the file system of the master switch to a TFTP server. You
might upload a configuration file in order to transfer it to another stack on
your network or to maintain a history of the settings of a stack. Similarly,
you might upload an event log to maintain a history of the operational
events of a stack or to troubleshoot a network problem.
Uploading a file from the master switch does not interfere with the network
operations of a stack.
Review the information in “General Guidelines” on page 102 before
performing this procedure.
To upload a configuration file or an event log file:
1. From the Home page, click the Configuration button.
2. From the Configuration menu, click the Utilities button to display the
System Utilities tab, shown in Figure 29 on page 104.
3. Select the TFTP Server IP Address field and enter the IP address of
the network node with the TFTP server software.
4. For the TFTP Operation parameter, click the Upload radio button.
5. Select the TFTP Remote Filename field and enter a name for the file
when it is stored on the TFTP server.
6. Select the TFTP Local Filename field and enter the name of the file
that you want to upload from the file system in the master switch.
Configuration files have the filename extension “.cfg”. Event log files
have the extension “.log”.
7. For the TFTP File Type, click the File radio button.
Note
If you select Image as the TFTP File Type, the switch uploads its
active AT-S63 image file to the FTP server and stores it under the
name specified in step 5. Allied Telesis does not recommend
uploading a switch’s image file. If you need an AT-S63 image file to
download onto another switch, go to the Allied Telesis web site for
the latest version.
8. Click the Apply button to begin the upload. The management software
notifies you when the upload is complete.
