Backup the Configuration - Local File Method
Use the following procedure to use the Local File method to create a configuration file.
Note: If you have a Windows operating system above Windows XP, you can use the TFTP Server method, the
CLI, PortVision DX, or apply exclusions for Java for the Windows firewall to backup or restore
configuration files.
PortVision DX supports saving and loading configuration files, without any Windows operating system
firewall restrictions.
1. If you have Windows XP, you can skip to Step 2 . Windows operating systems above Windows XP must
apply exclusions for Java for the Windows firewall to permit Local File operation.

Backup
Configuration
• Local File: The ES9528 acts as the file server, see Backup the Configuration - Local File
Method .
• TFTP Server: The ES9528 acts as a TFTP client, see Backup the Configuration - TFTP
Server Method .
Note: Pointing to the wrong file causes the entire configuration to be skipped.
• The ES9528 provides a default configuration file in the ES9528. To load the default configuration file,
you can use the Reset on the
Load Default page on Page 62 or the Reload command in the CLI
( Page 143 ).
• You can use the CLI to view the latest settings running in the ES9528. The information are the settings
you have configured but have not yet saved to the flash. The settings must be saved to the flash in order
to work after a power recycle. Use the running-config command to view the configuration file, see
Show
Running Configuration on Page 143.
Note: Since the Fast Ethernet Port Volume of the ES9528 is changeable, the Port volume may not be the
same when you plug-in a different module. In some conditions, when backing up the switch’s ports
configuration from one to another, the configuration of the source unit replaces the configuration
of the target switch even if the port volume is not the same. The port setting of the Port 7, 8, 15, 16,
23 and 24, etc. may be reset to default once the system can’t find the port. Make sure that you take
this into consideration before you backup/restore configurations.
• After you save the running-config to flash, the new settings are kept and work after the power is cycled.
Use the show startup-config to view it in the CLI. The Backup command can only backup the
configuration file to your PC or TFTP server.
