3.1.3 Loading from a file
The Switch allows you to load the configuration data from a file in the
connected network if there is no AutoConfiguration Adapter connected
to
the Switch.
V Select the Basics:Load/Save dialog.
V Click in the Load"-frame “fromURL”, if you want the Switch to load
the configuration data from a file and to retain the locally saved con
-
figuration.
Click in the Load"-frame “from URL & save local”, if you want the
Switch to load the configuration data from a file and to save this con
-
figuration locally.
“via PC (script/binary)” when you want the Switch to load the con-
figuration data from a file from the PC and retain the locally saved
configuration.
V In the “URL” edit box, type the field path under which the Switch finds
the configuration file if you want to load from URL.
V Click “Load configuration”.
The URL identifies the path to the tftp server from which the Switch loads
the configuration file. The URL is in the form
tftp://IP address of the tftp server/path name/file name
(e.g. tftp://149.218.112.5/switch/config.dat).
Example of loading a file from the TFTPServer
V To enable yourself to download a file from the tftp server, save the
configuration file into the corresponding path of the tftp server with
the file name, e.g.. switch/switch_01.cfg (see
“Saving into a
file on URL” on page 58).
V Enter the path to the tftp server into the line “URL”, e.g.
tftp://149.218.112.214/switch/switch_01.cfg .
Note: The status of the load, started by DHCP/BOOTP (see “System
configuration via BOOTP” on page 39), is displayed in the selected op-
tion “from URL & save local” in the “Load” frame. If you get an error mes-
sage while saving the configuration, one reason may be that loading is
not completed. DHCP/BOOTP does not finish loading until a valid confi
-
guration is loaded. If DHCP/BOOTP does not find any valid configuration
you can stop the active loading by loading the local configuration in the
“Load” frame.
