• local-file-memcard—Specifies the name of the file on the external compact flash
memory card. (This parameter is available only on modular switches.)
• local-file—Specifies the name of the file (configuration file, policy file) on the local host.
• remote-file—Specifies the name of the file on the remote host.
• force-overwrite—Specifies the switch to automatically overwrite an existing file. (This
parameter is available only on the
tftp get command.)
Note: By default, if you transfer a file with a name that already exists on
the system, the switch prompts you to overwrite the existing file. For
more information, see the tftp get command in the NETGEAR
8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual.
To transfer a configuration or policy file from the switch to a TFTP server, internal memory
card, or external memory card, use the
tftp and tftp put commands:
• tftp [<host-name> | <ip-address>] {-v <vr_name>} [-g | -p] [{-l [internal-memory
<local-file-internal> | memorycard <local-file-memcard> | <local-file>} {-r <remote-file>} |
{-r <remote-file>} {-l [internal-memory <local-file-internal> | memorycard
<local-file-memcard> | <local-file>]}]
• tftp put [<host-name> | <ip-address>] {-vr <vr_name>} [{[internal-memory
<local-file-internal> | memorycard <local-file-memcard> | <local_file>} {<remote_file>} |
{<remote_file>} {[internal-memory <local-file-internal> | memorycard
<local-file-memcard> | <local_file>]}]
Where the following is true:
• host-name—Specifies the name of the remote host on the network.
• ip-address—Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on the network.
• vr_name—Specifies the name of the virtual router.
Note: User-created VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this
feature in Appendix A, XCM8800 Software Licenses.
• -p—Puts the specified file from the local host and copies it to the TFTP server. (This
parameter is available only on the
tftp command.)
• put—Puts the specified file from the local host and copies it to the TFTP server. (This is
part of the
tftp put command.)
• internal-memory—Specifies the internal memory card.
• local-file-internal—Specifies the name of the core dump file located on the internal
memory card.
