switch.
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called "config.cfg" on
your computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the
source, you will need to rename them as the switch only recognizes "config" and "ras". Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
