Note
MULTILINK ML810 MANAGED EDGE SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Additional capabilities have been added to save and load configurations. The commands
are:
ftp <get|put|list|del> type=<app|config|oldconf|script|hosts|log> host=<hostname>
ip=<ipaddress> file=<filename> user=<user> pass=<password>
tftp <get|put> type=<app|config|oldconf|script|hosts|log> host=<hostname>
ip=<ipaddress> file=<filename>
xmodem <get|put> type=<app|config|oldconf|script|hosts|log>
The arguments are describe below:
: Specifies whether a log file or host file is uploaded or downloaded. This can also
type
perform the task of exporting a configuration file or uploading a new image to
the switch
, , , , : These parameters are associated with ftp/tftp server
host ip file user pass
communications.
The user can save the configuration in old (v2 format) and new (v3 format). The v3 format
must be used to utilize the ASCII and CLI Script capability.
save [format=v2|v3]
With release 1.7 and higher, the configuration can be saved in the older format (binary
object) or in a new format as an ASCII file. The new format is recommended by GE Digital
Energy. Use the old format only if there are multiple MultiLink switches on the network
running different versions of software. GE Digital Energy recommends upgrading all
switches to the most current software release.
To ease the process of uploading and executing a series of commands, the ML800 can
create a host (equivalent to creating a host table on many systems). The command for
creating a host is:
host <add|edit|del> name=<host-name> ip=<ipaddress> user=<user>
pass=<password>
The command displays the host table entries
