Downloading or Backing-up a Configuration or Log

Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide 28

When restoring a configuration file to the Startup Configuration or a backup

configuration file, the new file replaces the previous file.

When restoring to Startup Configuration, the switch must be rebooted for the

restored Startup Configuration to be used as the Running Configuration. You can

reboot the switch by using the process described in the Rebooting the Switch

section.

To backup or restore the system configuration file:

STEP 1 Click Administration > File Management > Download/Backup Configuration/

Log. The Download/Backup Configuration/Log Page opens.

STEP 2 Click the Transfer Method.

STEP 3 If you selected TFTP, enter the parameters. Otherwise, skip to STEP 4.

Select the Save Action.

If the Save Action you selected is Download to specify that the file on another

device will replace a file type on the switch, do the following. Otherwise, go to the

next procedure in this step.

a. Server Definition—Select whether to specify the TFTP server by IP address

or by domain name.

b. IP Version—Select whether an IPv4 or an IPv6 address is used.

NOTE If the server is selected by name in the Server Definition, there is no

need to select the IP Version related options.

c. IPv6 Address Type—Select the IPv6 address type (if used). The options are:

• Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network

link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be used

for communication only on the local network. Only one link local address is

supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this entry replaces

the address in the configuration.

• Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and

reachable from other networks.

d. Link-Local Interface—Select the link local interface from the list.

e. Source File Name—Enter the source file name. File names cannot contain

slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and

the file name should be between 1 and 160 characters. (Valid characters: A-Z,

a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”).
