Description

Usage Guidelines
The filename can be up to 255 characters long, and cannot include any spaces, commas, quotation
marks, or special characters. Unless you include a path with the filename, this command places the file
in the same directory as the TFTP server itself.
The uploaded ASCII file retains the command-line interface (CLI) format. This allows you to do the
following:
• Modify the configuration using a text editor, and later download a copy of the file to the same
switch, or to one or more different switches.
• Send a copy of the configuration file to Extreme Networks Technical Support for problem-solving
purposes.
If is specified, the switch automatically saves the configuration to the server once per
every <time>
day, at the specified time. Because the filename is not changed, the configured file stored in the TFTP
server is overwritten every day.
