Configuration Dump
The dump program writes the current switch configuration to the terminal screen. To start the dump
program, at the prompt, enter:
The configuration is displayed with parameters that have been changed from the default values. The
screen display can be captured, edited, and placed in a script file, which can be used to configure
other switches through a Telnet connection. When using Telnet to configure a new switch, paste the
configuration commands from the script file at the command line prompt of the switch. The active
configuration can also be saved or loaded via FTP/TFTP, as described on page 343.
Saving the Active Switch Configuration
When the copy running-config {ftp|tftp} command is used, the switch’s active
configuration commands (as displayed using show running-config) will be uploaded to the
specified script configuration file on the FTP/TFTP server. To start the switch configuration upload,
at the prompt, enter:
The switch prompts you for the server address and filename.
Note – The output file is formatted with line-breaks but no carriage returns—the file cannot be
viewed with editors that require carriage returns (such as Microsoft Notepad).
Note – If the FTP/TFTP server is running SunOS or the Solaris operating system, the specified
configuration file must exist prior to executing the copy running-config command and must
be writable (set with proper permission, and not locked by any application). The contents of the
specified file will be replaced with the current configuration data.
