I. Import and Export Switch Configuration Files

Step 1: Check Local Switch Files

Run the command dir on the switch to view local system files. The default configuration file is vrpcfg.zip, which needs to be exported to a computer for backup.

Step 2: Configure FTP Server on the Switch

Enable the FTP server function on the switch, create a local FTP user, and set the user’s password, privilege level, access directory, and service type.

Step 3: Prepare PC and Log in to FTP

Create a folder on the PC (e.g., D:/test) and place the configuration file to be imported (config.zip) into this folder.

Open CMD, enter ftp 192.168.30.51 (switch management IP), and log in to the ftp server using the specified FTP username and password.

Step 4: Backup and Upload Configuration Files

• Enter get vrpcfg.zip in CMD to back up the switch’s default configuration file; the backed-up file will be saved in the D:/test folder.

• Enter put config.zip to upload the new configuration file to the switch’s flash:/ directory.

Step 5:Check Configuration File

Run the dir command on the switch to check the uploaded configuration file config.zip.

II. Switching of Switch Configuration Files

Step 1: Check Current Configuration File

Run the command display startup on the switch to confirm the current startup configuration file (default: vrpcfg.zip).

Step 2: Switch the Configuration File

Run startup saved-configuration config.zip to set config.zip as the new startup configuration file.

Step 3: Reboot the Switch

Run the reboot command to restart the switch. When prompted to save the current configuration, select N (do not save).

Step 4: Verify the Switch Result

After the switch restarts, run display startup again to confirm that the startup configuration file has been successfully switched to config.zip.
