Loading a saved configuration
To load a saved switch configuration with the name MyRunningConfig.cfg into the switch,
complete the following steps. This example shows a TFTP server at IPv4 address
172.25.101.200, although IPv6 is also supported, where the configuration previously saved is
available to download.
1. Set the FTP/TFTP server address where the switch Configuration File is located:
Set agTransferServer.0 "172.25.101.200"
2. Set the name of the configuration file:
Set agTransferCfgFileName.0 "MyRunningConfig.cfg"
3. If you are using an FTP server, enter a user name:
Set agTransferUserName.0 "MyName"
4. If you are using an FTP server, enter a password:
Set agTransferPassword.0 "MyPassword"
5. Initiate the transfer. To restore a running configuration, enter 3.
Set agTransferAction.0 "3"
Saving the configuration
To save the switch configuration to an FTP/TFTP server, complete the following steps. This
example shows an FTP/TFTP server at IPv4 address 172.25.101.200, although IPv6 is
also supported.
1. Set the FTP/TFTP server address where the configuration file is saved:
Set agTransferServer.0 "172.25.101.200"
2. Set the name of the configuration file:
Set agTransferCfgFileName.0 "MyRunningConfig.cfg"
3. If you are using an FTP server, enter a user name:
Set agTransferUserName.0 "MyName"
4. If you are using an FTP server, enter a password:
Set agTransferPassword.0 "MyPassword"
5. Initiate the transfer. To save a running configuration file, enter 4.
Set agTransferAction.0 "4"
Saving a switch memory dump
You can also save a switch memory dump, which has information about the switch. To save a
switch memory dump to an FTP/TFTP server, complete the following steps. This example
shows an FTP/TFTP server at 172.25.101.200, although IPv6 is also supported.
1. Set the FTP/TFTP server address where the configuration is saved:
Set agTransferServer.0 "172.25.101.200"
2. Set the name of the dump file:
Set agTransferDumpFileName.0 "MyDumpFile.dmp"
3. If you are using an FTP server, enter a user name:
Set agTransferUserName.0 "MyName"
