Backing Up

Your Current

Conﬁgurations

The upgrade may change some settings to new defaults, and this

may or may not cause a problem.

To ensure your ability to restore your current switch conﬁgurations

after the software upgrade, you need to back up the following

configuration files to your TFTP server:

❑ SYSTEM.CUR contains the majority of the configuration files

❑ AGENT.CNF contains location, contact, and SNMP

management information (backup optional)

1. Log in to the switch and

PING the TFTP server to verify

communications:

2. Assign an IP address to the TFTP server:

3. If you are using a UNIX TFTP server, the file must exist (for

example, system.001) in the directory path indicated in the

/etc/inetd.conf file. It must also have read, write, and

execute permissions for everyone:

4. In your switch, backup the configuration files by using the

TFTP/

UPLOAD/CFG

command. In this command, you need to specify

the name of the file(s) you want to backup:

/ >

ping 192.48.127.124

192.48.127.124 is alive

/ >tftp/server

IP address of the tftp server ( ) :192.48.127.124
