Chapter 9 Managing Controller Software and Configurations
Using the CLI to Download Configuration Files
Using the controller CLI, follow these steps to download a configuration file to the controller.
Note The controller does not support incremental configuration downloads. The configuration file contains all
mandatory CLIs (all interface address CLIs, mgmtuser with read-write permission CLIs, and interface
port or LAG enable or disable CLIs) required to successfully complete the download. For example, if
you download only config time ntp server index server_address as part of the configuration file, the
download fails. Only the CLI commands present in the configuration file are applied to the controller,
and any configuration in the controller prior to the download is removed.
Step 1 To specify the transfer mode used to download the configuration file, enter this command:
transfer download mode {tftp | ftp}
To specify the type of file to be downloaded, enter this command:

transfer download tftpMaxRetries retries
transfer download tftpPktTimeout timeout
The default values of 10 retries and a 6-second timeout should work correctly without any
adjustment. However, you can change these values. To do so, enter the maximum number of
times that the TFTP server attempts to download the software for the retries parameter and the
amount of time (in seconds) that the TFTP server attempts to download the software for the
timeout parameter.
