NETGEAR 8800 User Manual Table 16. Configuration File Management Task Behavior Configuration file database XCM8800 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. Downloading configuration files XCM8800 uses the tftp and tftp get commands to download configuration files from the network TFTP server to the switch. For more information about downloading configuration files, see Using TFTP to Download the Configuration on page 824. Uploading configuration files XCM8800 uses the tftp and tftp put commands 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 822. Managing configuration files, including listing, copying, deleting, and renaming The following commands allow you to manage configuration files: • ls-Lists all of the configuration files in the system • cp-Makes a copy of an existing configuration file in the system • rm-Removes/deletes an existing configuration file from the system • mv-Renames an existing configuration file Configuration file type XCM8800 configuration files are saved in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. Use the show configuration command to view on the CLI your currently running switch configuration. ASCII-formatted configuration file You can upload your current configuration in ASCII format to a network TFTP server. The uploaded ASCII file retains the CLI format. To view your configuration in ASCII format, save the configuration with the .xsf file extension (known as the CLI script file). This saves the XML-based configuration in an ASCII format readable by a text editor. XCM8800 uses the upload configuration command to upload the ASCII-formatted configuration file from the switch to the network TFTP server. XCM8800 uses the tftp and tftp get commands to download configuration files from the network TFTP server to the switch. For more information about ASCII-formatted configuration files, see ASCII-Formatted Configuration Files on page 819. XML configuration mode Displaying configuration files Indicated by (xml) at the front of the switch prompt. Do not use. Use the command disable xml-mode to disable this mode. You can also see a complete list of configuration files by entering the ls command followed by the Tab key.
