Solution:
Take Switch Config Backup:
Step 1: Setup TFTP server on PC and check network connectivity between switch and PC using ping:
** In my example I have used Tftpd64 application for TFTP server.
You need to select PC interface which communicates to the switch network/management IP of cnMatrix along with the desired directory where you want to store the file.
Step 2: SSH the switch using management/network IP followed by admin credentials and run below command:
copy startup-config tftp://<PC interface IP>/<filename>
** Config file will be saved in the binary format at the selected location.
Restore Switch config using backup file:
Step 1: Setup TFTP server, using the same procedure which is explained above.
Step 2: SSH the switch using management/network IP followed by admin credentials and run below command:
copy tftp://<PC interface IP>/<filename> startup-config
Step 3: Reboot the switch to activate the new config.
