WGS3 Layer 3 Switch User’s Manual
- 36 -
Saving and restoring switch configuration settings can be initiated by using any TFTP client utility, such
as the command line utility included in Windows NT/2000/XP. For example, using Windows NT, from a
DOS window command prompt, enter the TFTP command in the form:
TFTP [-i] host [GET : PUT] source [destination]
To transfer a file –
On Switch: Specify the IP address of the TFTP client, and select “Download from switch” or “Upload to
Switch.” Then select <Start> from the menu to start.
On TFTP Client: Set the mode to <binary>, specify the IP address of the target switch and the directory
path / name of the file to transfer. Then start transferring the configuration from the TFTP client or the
switch and wait until the transfer completes.
For example, type “tftp -i 203.70.249.118 GET source wgs3.txt” on Windows 2000’s command prompt to
download switch’s configuration and type “tftp –i 203.70.249.118 PUT wgs3.txt” to upload the
configuration file to switch.
