Task Behavior
Configuration file database ExtremeWare XOS supports saving a configuration file into any named file and
supports more than two saved configurations.
For example, you can download a configuration file from a network TFTP
server and save that file as primary, secondary, or with a user-defined name.
You also select where to save the configuration: primary or secondary
partition, or another space.
The file names primary and secondary exist for backward compatibility with
ExtremeWare.
Downloading configuration files ExtremeWare XOS uses the tftp command to download configuration files to
the switch from the network TFTP server.
For more information about downloading configuration files, see “Using TFTP
to Download the Configuration” on page 603.
Uploading configuration files ExtremeWare XOS uses the tftp command to upload configuration files from
the switch to the network TFTP server.
For more information about uploading configuration files, see “Using TFTP to
Upload the Configuration” on page 603.
