Downloading and Uploading Files
There are several files that reside on the switch that you can download to the
workstation for examination or for safekeeping. These files include the following:
Backup configuration file (configdata)
Log files (logfile)
Support files (dump_support.tgz)
You can upload firmware image files or backup configuration files to the switch to
reinstall firmware or restore a corrupted configuration. The switch uses FTP to
exchange files between the switch and the workstation.
Refer to “Installing Firmware” on page 5-20 for information about installing
firmware.
Refer to “Back Up and Restore a Switch Configuration” on page 5-14 for
information about backing up and restoring a switch configuration.
Refer to “Creating and Downloading a Log File” on page 11-6 for information
about creating a log file.
Refer to “Creating a Support File” on page 2-5 for information about creating
a support file.
