MX2800 STS-1 User Manual
Configuration Transfer
Select Config Transfer from the Utilities menu to transfer files to and from a TFTP server. The Config
Transfer option can save the MX2800 STS-1 configuration as a backup file and use the same configuration
with multiple MX2800 STS-1 units. Only one configuration transfer session (upload or download) can be
active at a time.
Before using Config Transfer, the MX2800 STS-1 should have a valid IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway (if required), and should be
connected to an Ethernet network.
Configuration changes are not implemented until all Telnet sessions are
closed. Loading a new configuration may disrupt data traffic.
