Backup
Method Choose HTTP to use the Web Configurator to backup the configuration. Alternatively, choose
TFTP to upload the snapshot to a TFTP server.
Server IP To upload the backup to a TFTP server, enter the TFTP server IP address.
Content Choose the type of file for backup. You can back up configuration files (running, startup, or
backup) or log files (flash or buffer).
There are three different types of configuration files:
Ba c kup c o nfig ura tion – this is saved in the Switch. If you make changes to the current
configuration, and there are problems, you can revert to the Backup configuration without
having to restore a new file.
Sta rtup c o nfig ura tion – this is the configuration used when the Switch is booting up.
Running c o nfig ura tio n – this is the configuration when the Switch is running.
There are two different types of log files:
Fla sh lo g : Select this to save logs in the Switch’s flash (permanent) memory.
Buffe r lo g : Select this to save logs in the Switch’s memory buffer. If the logs are stored in the
Switch’s memory buffer, the logs will be erased when the Switch reboots.
Te c h Suppo rt: Select this to upload the configuration/log files to the TFTP server. The log files
contain useful information such as CPU utilization, history, memory and Mbuf (Memory Buffer)
log, and crash reports for issue analysis by customer support should you have difficulty with your
Switch.
