configUpload
Create a backup file of switch configuration information on a host workstation.
Synopsis
configUpload ["host","user","file"[,"passwd"]]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to upload the switch configuration to a host file.
The upload process uses either FTP or the RSHD protocol (TPC service 514). Both of these
services are widely available on UNIX hosts, but less so on WIndows hosts. On Windows NT, the
FTP server may have to be installed from the distribution media and enabled, or on Windows NT or
Windows 9x, there are several freeware and shareware FTP servers available.
The two supplied utilities
RSHD.EXE
and
CAT.EXE
, currently do not support uploads, only
downloads. Therefore, in a Windows environment, FTP must be used, and the FTP server must be
running before an upload can occur.
If the configUpload command is entered without operands, the user is prompted for input,
including choice of FTP or RSHD. If invoked with three operands, RSHD is used; otherwise,
presence of the fourth operand (password) selects FTP.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
host
Specify a host name or IP address in quotation marks; for example, “
citadel
”
or “
192.168.1.48
”. The configuration file is downloaded from this host
system. This operand is optional.
user
Specify a user name in quotation marks; for example, “
jdoe
”. This user name is
used to gain access to the host. This operand is optional.
file
Specify a file name in quotation marks; for example, “
config.txt
”. Absolute
path names may be specified using forward slash (
/
). Relative path names create
the file in the user’s home directory on UNIX hosts, and in the directory where
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is optional.
passwd
Specify a password in quotation marks. If present, the command uses FTP to
transfer the file. This operand is optional.
Example
To create a backup file of switch configuration information:
swd5:admin> configUpload "citadel","jdoe","config.txt","passwd"
upload complete
switch:admin>
