ONFIGURATION
You can upload the current configuration to a TFTP server on your network. The
uploaded ASCII file retains the command-line interface format. This allows you to do
the following:
• Modify the configuration using a text editor, and later download a copy of the file to
the same system, or to one or more different systems.
• Send a copy of the configuration file to Extreme Networks Technical Support for
problem-solving purposes.
• Automatically upload the configuration file every day, so that the TFTP server can
archive the configuration on a daily basis. Because the filename is not changed, the
configured file stored in the TFTP server is overwritten every day.
To upload the configuration, use the command
upload config <ipaddress> <filename> {every <time> | cancel}
where the following is true:
•
ipaddress
— Is the IP address of the TFTP server.
•
filename
— Is the name of the ASCII file. The filename can be up to 255 characters
long, and can not include any spaces, commas, quotation marks, or special
characters.
•
every <time>
— Specifies the time of day you want the configuration automatically
uploaded on a daily basis.
•
cancel
— Cancels automatic upload, if it has been previously configured.
