| Configuration file database |
ExtremeXOS supports saving a configuration file into any named
file and supports more than two saved configurations.
For example, you can download a configuration file from a
network TFTP server and save that file as primary, secondary, or with a
user-defined name. You also select where to save the configuration: primary or
secondary partition, or another space.
The file names "primary" and "secondary" exist for backward
compatibility with ExtremeWare.
|
| Downloading configuration files |
ExtremeXOS uses the tftp and tftp get
commands to download configuration files from the network TFTP server to the
switch.
For more information about downloading configuration files,
see Using TFTP to Download the Configuration.
|
| Uploading configuration files |
ExtremeXOS uses the tftp and tftp put
commands to upload configuration files from the switch to the network TFTP
server.
For more information about uploading configuration files, see
Using TFTP to Upload the Configuration.

| Managing configuration files, including
listing, copying, deleting, and renaming |
The following commands allow you to manage configuration
files:
- ls: Lists all of the configuration files
in the system.
- cp: Makes a copy of an existing
configuration file in the system.
- rm: Removes/deletes an existing
configuration file from the system.
- mv: Renames an existing configuration
file.
|
| Configuration file types |
- XML-formatted configuration file
- ASCII-formatted configuration file
|
| XML-formatted configuration file |
ExtremeXOS configuration files are saved in
Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. Use the show configuration command to view on the
CLI your currently running switch configuration. |
| ASCII-formatted configuration file |
You can upload your current configuration in ASCII format to a
network TFTP server. The uploaded ASCII file retains the CLI format.
To view your configuration in ASCII format, save the
configuration with the .xsf file extension (known as the XOS CLI script file).
This saves the XML-based configuration in an ASCII format readable by a text
editor.
ExtremeXOS uses the upload configuration command to upload the ASCII-formatted
configuration file from the switch to the network TFTP server.
ExtremeXOS uses the tftp and tftp get
commands to download configuration files from the network TFTP server to the
switch.
For more information about ASCII-formatted configuration
files, see Uploading ASCII-Formatted Configuration Files.
