backing up and restoring config files on 6248
Hi all, is the correct method of backing up a running config to a tftp server
copy run tftp://172.16.141.99/6248_backup
1)Do I need to assign it a file extension? If so what type, *.bak, *.cfg, or what?
2)What is the command to restore this configuration file back to the switch using that same tftp ip address?
3)Do I need to reboot the switch after I copy the running config back to the switch, and if so do i enter a 'copy run start' prior to rebooting?
No Events found!

1. You dont have to assign any extention.
2. command to restore is copy tftp://172.16.141.99/6248_backup run
3. The file would be merged to your running config, hence you need to copy it to startup config. So you have to do a "copy run start" then reboot.

Almost any tftp server will work in this CLI scenario. I have used many and not seen an issue. But if you are using the Dell OpenManage Network Manager NMS software, then 3cdaemon is highly recommended for both FTP and TFTP.

.cfg
Use the 3cdaemon software
And dont forget to update the boot code when it reboots.
