Uploading the Configuration/Crash Report

An upload copies the XSR startup-configuration file (partial) to a system in a CLI script format
using TFTP. You can later retrieve the file with TFTP.
To perform the task correctly, the TFTP server must be running on a remote device. You then enter
the copy startup-config tftp: <tftp IP addr>/filename
the file to the server. A successful upload produces the following sample output:
XSR#copy startup-config tftp:
Address of remote host [0.0.0.0]: 10.10.10.10
Destination file name [startup-config]:
Copy 'startup-config' from Flash to server
as 'startup-config'(y/n) ? y
Upload to server done
File size: 976 bytes
You can also upload the crash report via TFTP using the same procedure as the one used to
upload the configuration file.
Refer to the XSR CLI Reference Guide for more command details.

Creating Alternate Configuration Files

use any file name for the alternate configuration.
To make an alternate configuration file available, rename
