NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Default If you do not specify a virtual router, VR-Mgmt is used; if you transfer a file with a name that already exists on the system, the switch prompts you to overwrite the existing file. Usage Guidelines NetASCII and mail file type formats are not supported. By default, the switch prompts you to overwrite an existing file. For example, if you have a file named test.cfg on the switch and download a file named test.cfg from a TFTP server, the switch displays a message similar to the following: test.cfg already exists, do you want to overwrite it? (y/n) Enter y to download the file and overwrite the existing file. Enter n to cancel this action. If you successfully download the file, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Downloading test.cfg to switch... done! If you cancel this action, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Tftp download aborted. If you specify the force-overwrite parameter, the switch automatically overwrites an existing file. For example, if you have a file named test.cfg on the switch and download a file named test.cfg from a TFTP server, the switch automatically overrides the existing file. If you successfully download the file, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Downloading test.cfg to switch... done! This command was introduced to simplify using TFTP to transfer configuration, policy, and if configured, core dump files from the switch to the TFTP server. You can continue to use the original tftp command.
