Uploading a Configuration File

The switch configuration information can be uploaded and saved to a
file on a workstation. This file can then be used to restore the
configuration information to the same switch or can be uploaded to
other switches of the same family that need to be configured identically.

The basic TFTP parameters for uploading a switch configuration file to a
workstation are as follows:

Host - This is the IP address of the switch that you are uploading the
configuration file from.

Binary - You must specify binary mode for the file transfer.

Get - The Get command is used to upload the configuration file to the
workstation.

Source file - The source file name is “ATS39.cfg”.

Destination file - The path and filename where you want to store the
configuration file.

Note

The switch configuration file created with these procedures cannot
be edited.

Example

The following example uploads the configuration file from a switch with
an IP address of 149.35.1.1 to local drive C: of the workstation.

tftp -i 149.35.1.1 get ats39.img c:\ats39.img

Once the file is stored on a local drive, it can be downloaded to another
switch using TFTP, as explained in the previous section.
