Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Manual page 1938

ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
Configuration and Image Commands
If you successfully upload the active configuration to the network TFTP server, the switch displays a
message similar to the following:
Uploading meg_upload_config1.xsf to 10.10.10.10 ... done!
If the switch displays a timeout error message similar to the following:
failed!
Error: timeout
Make sure you entered the correct host name or IP address of the TFTP server
If the switch displays an unreachable network error similar to the following:
failed!
Error: Network is unreachable
Make sure you entered the correct virtual router. By default the switch uses VR-Mgmt for this
command.
Summary of Steps. The following summary only describes the CLI involved to transfer the configuration
and load it on the switch; it is assumed that you know how to modify the configuration file with a text
editor. As previously described, to use these commands, use the .xsf file extension. These steps are not
applicable to configurations that use the .cfg file extension.
To work with an ASCII-formatted configuration file, complete the following tasks:
1 Upload the configuration to a network TFTP server using the following command:
upload configuration [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {vr <vr-name>}
After the configuration file is on the TFTP server, use a text editor to the desired changes.
2 Download the configuration from the TFTP server to the switch using one of the following
commands:
tftp [<host-name> | <ip-address>] -g -r <remote-file>
tftp get
3 Verify the configuration file is on the switch using the following command:
ls
4 Load and restore the new configuration file on the switch using the following command:
load script <script-file>
5 Save the configuration to the configuration database so the switch can reapply the configuration
after switch reboot using the following command:
save configuration {primary | secondary | <existing-config> | <new-config>}
When you save the configuration file, the switch automatically adds the .cfg file extension to the
filename. This saves the ASCII configuration as an XML-based configuration file.
The following describes the steps in more detail.
Uploading the ASCII Configuration File To a TFTP Server. To upload the current switch configuration as an
ASCII-based file to the TFTP server, use the
configuration with the .xsf file extension.
