Sample Configuration File; Commands - D-Link DES-3624 Series User Manual

10
This appendix provides a sample configuration file that can be used with the Update Firmware and
Configuration Files screen in the console program.
The configuration file is a simple text file that you create. It has two functions: to point to the location of a file
on a TFTP server, and to set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the Switch. The file being
uploaded can be either new runtime switching software, or a switch settings file which was previously saved
on the TFTP server using the Save Settings to TFTP Server screen on the System Utilities menu. The IP
address settings defined in the configuration file will override all other IP settings, even those defined in the
settings file being uploaded. This enables the settings from one switch to be uploaded to another switch
without their IP settings being the same (and thus coming into conflict).

Commands:

♦
– This command tells the Switch the type of file you wish to upload to the Switch. Possible
Code_type
Code_types are
PROM
• PROM – PROM update file.
• RUNTIME – Switching software update file.
• CONFIG – Image file of switch settings created by the settings backup procedure.
♦ – This command tells the switch the complete path and filename for the file to be loaded
Image_file
into the switch. For example, "
example file below.
♦ – This is the IP address that will be assigned to the switch. This command is included for
Ip_addr
downloading a configuration settings file to another switch. The IP address defined in this file will
override the IP address in the configuration settings file, thus the switch you are downloading to can have
a different IP address than the one that created the configuration settings file. An example of an IP
address is:
10.12.19.102
♦ – This is the subnet mask that will be assigned to the switch. An example of a subnet
Subnet_mask
mask is:
255.128.0.0
♦
Default_gateway
default Gateway IP is:
♦ # – Remark. When placed as the first character on a line, the entire line will be ignored by the switch.
This allows items to be labeled, or unused commands to remain in the file so that the syntax will not be
forgotten.
