The second prompt is shown here:
Enter the list of switches ->
At the prompt, enter the enhanced stack numbers of the member switches
to receive the file. You may upload a file to more than one member switch
at a time by separating the numbers with commas. The numbers are
viewed with the SHOW ESTACK REMOTELIST command.
There are certain things to know prior to using this feature:
The transfer works from the command switch to the member
switches. You may not use this feature to transfer configuration
files from member switches to the command switch.
You have to store the configuration files of the member switches in
the file system of the command switch. To do that, you have to
upload the files from the member switches using TFTP or Zmodem
and then download them onto the command switch.
Uploading a configuration file that contains the IP ADDRESS or
IPV6 ADDRESS command to more than one switch may cause an
IP address conflict in your network, in which multiple switches have
the same IP address.
A member switch has to be configured for enhanced stacking
before the command switch can upload a configuration file to it.
This means you have to activate enhanced stacking on it, and if the
common VLAN of the enhanced stack is not the Default VLAN, you
have to create the common VLAN on the switch.
When a member switch receives a boot configuration file from the
command switch, it stores the file in its file system as BOOT.CFG.
You may upload any configuration file from the command switch,
even the active boot configuration file.
Here are two examples of the feature. The first example restores a
configuration file to an existing member switch of an enhanced stack. The
example makes the following assumptions:
Enhanced stacking is already activated on the member switch.
The member switch already has the common VLAN that links the
switches of the enhanced stack together.
The name of its configuration file on the command switch is
Eng12c.cfg.
The member switch uses BOOT.CFG as its active boot
configuration file, meaning it will not be necessary to change the
name of the configuration file after is transferred to the member
switch.
