Using TFTP to Upload the Configuration

You can upload the current configuration to a TFTP server on your network. The uploaded ASCII file
retains the command-line interface (CLI) format. This allows you to:

Modify the configuration using a text editor, and later download a copy of the file to the same
switch, or to one or more different switches.

Send a copy of the configuration file to the Extreme Networks Technical Support department for
problem-solving purposes.

Automatically upload the configuration file every day, so that the TFTP server can archive the
configuration on a daily basis. Because the filename is not changed, the configured file stored in the
TFTP server is overwritten every day.

To upload the configuration, use the following command:

upload configuration [<ipaddress> | <hostname>] <filename> {every <time>}

where the following is true:

ipaddress

— Is the IP address of the TFTP server.

hostname

— Is the hostname of the TFTP server. (You must enable DNS to use this option.)

filename

— Is the name of the ASCII file. The filename can be up to 255 characters long, and cannot

include any spaces, commas, quotation marks, or special characters.

every <time>

— Specifies the time of day you want the configuration automatically uploaded on a

daily basis. If not specified, the current configuration is immediately uploaded to the TFTP server.

To cancel a previously scheduled configuration upload, use the following command:

upload configuration cancel
