How to Transfer Switch Data

Cisco network switches include a feature that enables administrators to save configuration files to a network server once the switch configuration has been completed or modifications have been made to the configuration. Saving a backup of network switch configurations provides administrators with a quick reference of the switch configuration without having to connect to the switch, and also a "safety net" in the event that the configuration is damaged or lost. Transfer Cisco switch configuration data files to a TFTP server to store as a backup.

Things You'll Need

  • Microsoft Windows 7 computer TFTP service installed and telnet client enabled
  • Microsoft Windows 7 computer IP address
  • Cisco switch with telnet service enabled
  • IP address of the Cisco switch
  • Telnet password for the Cisco switch
  • Password for the Cisco switch Privilege Exec mode password
 
Steps to  Transfer Network Switch Data
1. Click "Start" on the Windows 7 computer PC desktop, click "Search" and then enter "cmd" in the "Search" box. Right-click the command line icon that displays in the upper left pane and select "Run as Administrator." Enter "telnet 1.2.3.4" in the command line window that appears, substituting the IP address of a Cisco router for the "1.2.3.4" and then tap "Enter."
 
 
2. Type the telnet password and then press "Enter." Type "enable" and tap "Enter." Enter the Privilege Exec password when prompted and tap "Enter."

3. Type "copy nvram tftp://5.6.7.8/filename," except replace the "5.6.7.8" with the IP address of the Windows 7 computer and replace "filename" with a name for the configuration file, and then tap "Enter." The switch configuration file has now been transferred to the Windows 7 computer TFTP service root directory.
