Storing the configuration files

Before and after you upgrade your switch software, make copies of the configuration files. If an error
occurs, use backup configuration files to return to a previous state. You can store the files in binary
or ASCII format. Use the following procedure to store the configuration file in binary format. For
more information about storing the file in ASCII format, see Configuring Systems on Avaya Ethernet
Routing Switch 5900 Series, NN47211-501.
Avaya recommends that you keep several copies of backup files.
Before you begin
If you use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), ensure that you
enabled the FTP or TFTP server. FTP and TFTP support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, with no
difference in functionality or configuration.
