You can schedule the switch to download a partial or incremental configuration on a
regular basis. You could use this feature to update the configuration of the switch
regularly from a centrally administered TFTP server. As part of the scheduled
incremental download, you can optionally configuration a backup TFTP server.
To configure the primary and/or secondary TFTP server and filename, use the following
command:
config download server [primary | secondary] <hostname | ip_address>
<filename>
To enable scheduled incremental downloads, use the following command:
download configuration every <hour (0-23)>
To display scheduled download information, use the following command:
show switch
To cancel scheduled incremental downloads, use the following command:
download configuration cancel

Regardless of which download option is used, configurations are downloaded into
switch runtime memory, only. The configuration is saved only when the
save
command
is issued, or if the configuration file, itself, contains the
save
command.
If the configuration currently running in the switch does not match the configuration
that the switch used when it originally booted, an asterisk (*) appears before the
command line prompt when using the CLI.
