• uptime: To view time since last boot.

If you do not specify a parameter, Dell Networking OS congures uptime.

To view the conguration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.

To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug] command.

File Transfer Services

With Dell Networking OS, you can congure the system to transfer les over the network using the le transfer protocol (FTP).

One FTP application is copying the system image les over an interface on to the system; however, FTP is not supported on virtual local

area network (VLAN) interfaces.

The FTP and TFTP services are enhanced to support the VRF-aware functionality. If you want the FTP or TFTP server to use a VRF table

that is attached to an interface, you must congure the FTP or TFTP server to use a specic routing table. You can use the ip ftp vrf

vrf-name or ip tftp vrf vrf-name command to inform the FTP or TFTP server to use a specic routing table. After you congure

this setting, the VRF table is used to look up the destination address. However, these changes are backward-compatible and do not aect

existing behavior; meaning, you can still use the source-interface command to communicate with a particular interface even if no

VRF is congured on that interface.

For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.

NOTE: To transmit large les, Dell Networking recommends conguring the switch as an FTP

server.
