This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config.cfg” on your
computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source,
you will need to rename them as the Switch only recognizes “config”, “ras-0”, and “ras-1”. Be sure
you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong
model firmware may damage your device.
47.9.2 FTP Command Line Procedure
1 Launch the FTP client on your computer.
2 Enter open, followed by a space and the IP address of your Switch.
3 Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username (the default is “admin”).
4 Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).
5 Enter bin to set transfer mode to binary.
6 Use put to transfer files from the computer to the Switch, for example, put firmware.bin ras-0
transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the Switch and renames it to “ras-0”.
Similarly, put config.cfg config transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to
the Switch and renames it to “config”. Likewise get config config.cfg transfers the configuration
file on the Switch to your computer and renames it to “config.cfg”. See
Table 225 on page 455 for
more information on filename conventions.
7 Enter quit to exit the ftp prompt.
