Transferring Switch Configurations
You can use the following commands to transfer switch 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 or IPX 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
Note The Get operation overwrites the switch’s current configuration with the
newly retrieved configuration. The switch then automatically reboots itself.
