Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability. configUpload 2 configUpload Uploads the switch configuration file to a host file. Synopsis configupload [-p ftp]"host","user","file","passwd" configupload -p scp "host","user","file" configupload Description Use this command to upload the switch configuration to a host file. The first form of this command uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The FTP Server must be running in the host before an upload can occur. • The second form of the configUpload command uses SCP, which is a secure file copy tunneled through an SSH connection. When this form of the command is used, no password should be provided on the command line. Instead, SCP will prompt for the password if necessary. The SSH service is also available on Unix and Windows hosts. This command can be invoked without any operands, creating an interactive session. The upload might fail for the following reasons: • The host name is not known to the switch. • The host IP address cannot be contacted. • The user does not have permission on the host. • The FTP server is not running on the host. The configuration file contains three types of lines: licenses, section headers and name:value pairs • License keys are encrypted ASCII strings and are listed one key per line. It is very important to note that keys should not be moved from one section to another. • Section headers have a bracket ( [ ) as the first character of the line. (When read by configDownload, a line beginning with any punctuation is treated as a comment.) • Name:value pairs have the following syntax: line whitespace name whitespace ":" whitespace value name component {"." component} whitespace {" " | t"} component {"a" - "z" | "A" - "Z" | "0" - "9 value {
