Network requirements
A switch and a PC operate as an FTP server and an FTP client.
Create a user account on the FTP server, with the user name being switch,
■
password being hello, and the permission to access the root directory of the Flash
assigned to the user account.
The IP address of a VLAN interface on the switch is 1.1.1.1. The IP address of the
■
PC is 2.2.2.2. And the route between the two is reachable.
The PC uploads the application named switch.bin to the FTP server through FTP and
downloads the configuration file named vrpcfg.txt from the switch to backup the
configuration file.
