Instructions
Save your configuration via the Web GUI
Use the Save button to save the running configuration to the startup configuration. When a user clicks Apply, changes are saved to the running configuration. When the system boots, it loads the startup configuration. Any changes to the running configuration that were not saved to the startup configuration are lost across a power cycle.
Back up your configuration to an external device via the Web GUI
The file is being uploaded from the switch to the end device, such as your desktop. From your desktop's prespective, you are downloading a file but the switch is still uploading, so we will use File Upload on the switch.
To upload a file from the switch to a remote system:
- Open the File Upload page.
- Select the type of file to download to the remote server, in this case configuration.
- Select the transfer mode, in this case HTTP or HTTPS. If you select a transfer mode that requires authentication, additional fields appear in the Upload section. If you select HTTP as the upload method, some of the fields are hidden.
- To upload by using HTTP, click Apply. A dialog box opens to allow you to open or save the file.
