Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings
You can upload/download configuration setting files to/from a TFTP server or copy files to and from switch
units in a stack. The configuration files can be later downloaded to restore the switch’s settings.
Command Usage
When updating the PoE controller, first copy the PD controller file from a TFTP server to the
switch's file system (tftp to file), and then copy this file to the controller (file to file).
When specifying the file type “PD_Controller” or “PoE” for copy operations via the web or CLI,
file types other than PoE controller may be downloaded, but will not adversely affect the system.
