Important Consideration (FTP and TFTP)
During the save procedure, the current configuration can be altered.
To detect this event, the software runs checksum on the NVRAM
before and after the save.
If the checksum is different, you are notified and prompted to save the
configuration again. In abnormal situations, this reiteration can
continue indefinitely, so you are given the option to terminate the
save. You are also prompted for a retry request after a network (TFTP)
I/O failure.
Options
Prompt Description
Host IP IP address of the host on which
address you want to store the data file
NV control Full path of the file where you
file want to store the NV data
File label Meaningful description of the
(optional) file
Procedure
1 To save NV data, from the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
system nvData save
The system prompts you for information about saving the data. To accept
the value in brackets, press Return. Any entry for IP address, filename,
and user name becomes the new default.
2 Enter the IP address of the TFTP or FTP server.
3 If you are using TFTP and your implementation requires a full path, enter
the full pathname of the control file. (Some implementations allow you to
specify only the file name, and the server uses the default TFTP directory.)
The system prompt says
control file without the NVD extension.
4 Optionally, enter a label for the file.
Example:
Host IP Address [158.101.100.1]: 158.101.112.34
NV Control file (full pathname): nvdata
Enter an optional file label: Labdata
