ONFIGURATION

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

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 Extreme Networks Technical Support 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 command

upload config <ipaddress> <filename> {every <time> | cancel}

where the following is true:

ipaddress

 — Is the ipaddress of the TFTP server.

filename

 — Is the name of the ASCII file.

every <time>

 — Specifies the time of day you want the configuration automatically 

uploaded on a daily basis.

cancel

 — Cancels automatic upload, if it has been previously configured.

ONFIGURATION

You can download a previously saved configuration from a TFTP server. To download a 
configuration, use the following command:

download config <ipaddress> <filename>

After the ASCII configuration file is downloaded by way of TFTP, you are prompted to 
reboot the switch. The downloaded configuration file is stored in an area of switch 
memory, and is not retained if the switch has a power failure. When the switch is 
rebooted, it treats the downloaded configuration file as a scrip of CLI commands. After 
the script is executed, you are prompted to save the configuration.
