block to a your terminal or workstation, though it is unlikely you would ever
have need for that function.

that you want to upload from the switch. You have three options:

ˆ

SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file.

ˆ

the SWITCHCFG parameter in that the latter uploads just the active
