Before the software is updated, it is advised to save the configurations. Reloading of the
configuration is not usually necessary, but in certain situations it may be needed, and it is
recommended that you save configurations before a software update. Make sure to
reboot the switch after a new configuration is loaded.
The file transfer operations allowed are:
1. Image Download (or Image Upload): Copy the ML810 image from switch to the
server (or from the server to the switch). The "Image Upload" option is
commonly used to upgrade the ML810 image on the switch.
2. Config Download (or Config Upload): Save the configuration of the switch on
the server (or load the saved configuration from the server to the switch). This
option is used to save a backup of the ML810 configuration or restore the
configuration (in case of a disaster.)
3. Script Download (or Script Upload): Save the necessary CLI commands used
