Configuration Guide
Using FTP;
Using TFTP.
I. Backing up the display information of the current-configuration command
Executing the display current-configuration command can display all the
configurations in the router except for the defaults. In the HyperTerminal, you can back
up them by copying all the display information into a text file.
II. Backing up using FTP
You can use FTP to backup configuration files by two means:
One option is to take the router as the FTP server to FTP the configuration files from the
router to the PC (the FTP client).
After the router boots, perform the following configurations:
[3Com] local-user 3Com
[3Com-luser-3Com] password simple 3Com
[3Com-luser-3Com] service-type ftp ftp-directory flash:/ftp/3Com
Then create an FTP connection on the PC connected to the router and back up the
configuration files:
C:\>ftp x.x.x.x
<ftp> get remotefile [localfile]
200 Port command okay.
150 Server okay , now transmit file .
226 file transmit success.
ftp: 735 bytes received in 0.06Seconds 12.25Kbytes/sec.
Where, remotefile is a configuration file (v 2.41cfg.cfg) on the router.
Alternatively, you can take the router as the FTP client to FTP its configuration files to
the PC (the FTP server).
Enable the FTP server and configure authorization information on the PC connected to
the router. Then execute the following commands on the router:
<3Com> ftp x.x.x.x
[ftp] put localfile [ remotefile ]
Where, remotefile is a configuration file (v 2.41cfg.cfg) on the router.
III. Backing up using TFTP
The router is operating as TFTP Client.
To upload the configuration file from the router to TFTP Server, a PC, execute the
following command:
<3Com> tftp x.x.x.x put localfile [remotefile]
