Usage Guidelines
NetASCII and mail file type formats are not supported.
Use TFTP to download a previously saved configuration file or access control list from the TFTP server
to the switch.
When downloading a configuration file, this command does a complete download, resetting the current
switch configuration and replacing it with the new downloaded configuration. You will be prompted to
reboot the switch after the download is complete. If you do not reboot when prompted, the switch
views the configuration file as corrupted and the next time you reboot the switch prompts you to reset
to the factory defaults.
The new configuration information is stored in switch runtime memory, and is not retained if the switch
has a power failure. After the switch has rebooted, you should save the configuration to the appropriate
configuration file.
Up to eight active TFTP sessions can run on the switch concurrently.
The file on the server is assumed to be located relative to the TFTP server base directory. You can
specify a path as part of the file name.
You must configure DNS in order to use the host_name option.
The vr_id option specifies the name of the virtual router. The valid virtual router names are VR-0,
VR-1, and VR-2.
ip_address Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.
host_name Specifies the name of the remote host.
vr_id Specifies the name of the virtual router.
-g Gets the specified file from the TFTP server and copies it to the local host.
-p Puts the specified file from the local host and copies it to the TFTP server.
local_file Specifies the name of the file (configuration file, access control list) on the
local host.
remote_file Specifies the name of the file on the remote host.
