NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual upload configuration upload configuration [ | ] {vr } Description Uploads the current configuration in ASCII format to a TFTP server on your network. Syntax Description hostname ipaddress filename vr-name Specifies the hostname of the TFTP server where you want to download the configuration file. You must have DNS enabled Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server where you want to download the configuration file. Specifies a user-defined name for the configuration file. You must use the .xsf file extension when naming an ASCII-formatted configuration file. Specifies the name of the virtual router. By default the switch uses VR-Mgmt for this command. Note: User-created VRs are supported only on the platforms listed for this feature in Appendix A in the NETGEAR 8800 User Manual. Default Uploads the current configuration in ASCII format immediately to a TFTP server. Usage Guidelines Specify the ipaddress or hostname parameters to upload the current, active configuration file from the switch to a TFTP server on the network. Use of the hostname parameter requires that DNS be enabled. The uploaded ASCII file retains the CLI format. This allows you to do the following: • Modify the configuration using a text editor, and later download a copy of the file to the same switch or to one or more different switches. • Send a copy of the configuration file to NETGEAR Technical Support for problem-solving purposes. This command is not applicable to XML-based configurations. Those files use the .cfg file extension. If you want to view your configuration in ASCII format, use the .xsf file extension (known as the XOS script file) when you save the configuration file on the switch. This saves the XML-based configuration in an ASCII format readable by a text editor. If you successfully upload the active configuration to the network TFTP server, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Uploading meg_upload_config1.xsf to 10.10.10.10 ... done!
