System image file: Refers to the compressed file for switch hardware driver and software
support program, usually refer to as IMAGE upgrade file. In switch, the system image file is
allowed to save in FLASH only. Switch mandates the name of system image file to be
uploaded via FTP in Global Mode to be nos.img, other IMAGE system files will be rejected.
Boot file: Refers to the file initializes the switch, also referred to as the ROM upgrade file
(Large size file can be compressed as IMAGE file). In switch, the boot file is allowed to save in
ROM only. Switch mandates the name of the boot file to be boot.rom.
Configuration file: Including start up configuration file and running configuration file. The
distinction between startup configuration file and running configuration file can facilitate the
backup and update of the configurations.
Startup configuration file: Refers to the configuration sequence used in switch startup.
Startup configuration file is stored in nonvolatile storage, corresponding to the so-called
configuration save. If the device does not support CF, the configuration file will be stored in
FLASH only. If the device supports CF, the configuration file will be stored in FLASH or CF. If
the device supports multi-config file, the name of the configuration file will be .cfg file (The
default is startup.cfg.). If the device does not support multi-config file, the name of the startup
configuration file will be startup-config.
Running configuration file: Refers to the running configuration sequence used in the switch.
In the switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the
running configuration sequence running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by write
command or copy running-config startup-config command, so that the running
configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration
save. To prevent illicit file upload and easier configuration, switch mandates the name of
running configuration file to be running-config.
Factory configuration file: The configuration file shipped with switch named factory-config.
Run set default and write and restart the switch, and factory configuration file will be loaded to
overwrite current startup configuration file.
4.5.3.2 FTP/TFTP Configuration
The configurations of switch as FTP and TFTP clients are almost the same, so the
configuration procedures for FTP and TFTP are described together in this manual.
