Using ZGet and ZPut To Transfer a Configuration Between
the Switch and a PC or Unix Workstation
The PC or workstation must be operating as a VT-100 or ANSI terminal, and
can be connected either directly or via a modem to the switch’s console port.
Also, the PC or workstation must be running a Zmodem-compatible terminal
emulation program. If a manager password has been set, you must log on to
the switch using that password in order to execute the Zget or Zput commands.
Note ZGet overwrites the switch’s current configuration with the downloaded
configuration.
To use ZGet or ZPut, you need the name assigned to the configuration file on
the PC or workstation
1. On the PC or workstation, start the Zmodem-compatible terminal emula-
tion program, then follow the instructions provided with the program to
prepare for a file transfer.
2. From the switch console’s Main Menu select Advanced Commands.
