File Transfers
To download a configuration from a file on a PC or Unix workstation:
get IP_address CONFIG remote_file

where: IP address or IPX address is the address of the PC or Unix
workstation in which the configuration is to be stored.
remote_file is the name of the configuration file in the PC or

Using ZGet and ZPut To Transfer a Configuration Between
the Switch and a PC or Unix Workstation
The PC or workstation must be operating as a VT100 or ANSI terminal, and
can be connected either directly or via a modem to the switch’s console port.
Also, the PC or workstation must be running a Zmodem-compatible terminal
emulation program. If a manager password has been set, you must log on to
the switch using that password in order to execute the Zget or Zput commands.
Note ZGet overwrites the switch’s current configuration with the downloaded
configuration. The switch then automatically reboots itself.
To use ZGet or ZPut, you need the name assigned to the configuration file on
the PC or workstation.
1. On the PC or workstation, start the Zmodem-compatible terminal emula-
tion program, then follow the instructions provided with the program to
prepare for a file transfer.
2. From the switch’s Main Menu select Advanced Commands line.
3. At the command prompt, execute one of the following commands:
To upload a configuration to a file on a PC or Unix workstation:
zput config remote_file [overwrite] [dos/unix]
To download a configuration from a file on a PC or Unix workstation:
zget config remote_file [dos/unix]
where: remote_file is the name of the file in which the configuration
is stored
[overwrite] is one of the following optional values:
