Transferring Switch Configurations
You can use the following commands to transfer Switch 4000M and Switch
2424M configurations between the switch and a PC or Unix workstation.
Using Get and Put To Transfer a Configuration Between the
Switch and a Networked PC or Unix Workstation
To use Get or Put, you need the following:
■ The IP address of the remote PC or Unix workstation that is acting as a
TFTP server
■ The name assigned to the configuration file you will use on the remote PC
or Unix workstation
N o t e For the “Put” operation, most UNIX TFTP servers require that a file of the
same name already exists in the server’s TFTP directory, and that the file has
“write” permissions.
Get or Xget overwrites the switch’s current configuration with the down-
loaded configuration. The switch then automatically reboots itself.
