mode.
Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host, from which to download
the configuration. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To be able to mention
the FTP server by name, you need to set up two DNS servers with dnsConfig.
Quotation marks are optional.
Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional.
Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names
may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names search for the file
in the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and in the directory on which
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the
file is downloaded from an external host. Quotation marks are optional.
Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional.

local chassis.

be used only with the -local or -USB option, each of which retrieves files from a
predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device.
Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. Quotation
marks are optional.
Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with
the -local or -USB options.

or SNMP, you are prompted to disable the switch before proceeding.
The host name is not known to the switch.
The host IP address cannot be contacted.
You do not have permission on the host.
You are running a script that prints something at login.
The file does not exist on the host.
The file is not a switch configuration file.
The FTP server is not running on the host.
The configuration file contains errors.
The configuration file's logical switch definitions do not match the definitions on the target switch.
