Storing or retrieving a configuration file from a TFTP
server
You can store switch configuration parameters on a TFTP server. You can retrieve
the configuration parameters of a switch and use the retrieved parameters to
automatically configure a replacement switch.
To store a switch configuration, you must set up the file on your TFTP server and
set the filename read/write permission to enabled.
To download the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch configuration file, a properly
configured Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server must be present in your
network, and the BayStack 380-24F switch must have an IP address.
To learn how to configure the switch IP address, refer to “Configuring BootP, IP,
and gateway settings” on page 42.
To store or retrieve a switch configuration file:
1 From the main menu, choose Configuration > Configuration File.
The Configuration File Download/Upload page opens (Figure 29).
