Loading and Saving Configuration Files

For easy configuration management, all Foundry switches and Layer 3 Switches support both the download and
upload of configuration files between the switch or router and a TFTP server on the network.
NOTE: The boot flash must have release 2.0 or later boot code installed for a TFTP download of the
configuration file to the system flash to be active without a system reset. To determine the system's boot code
versions, enter the show version or show flash command.
You can upload either the startup configuration file or the running configuration file to the TFTP server for backup
and use in booting the system.
• Startup configuration file – This file contains the configuration information that is currently saved in flash.
