Managing Configuration and Software Files

This section contains the following major subsections, in this order:
• Important Points to Remember — Files on page 44
• Downloading and Uploading Files on page 44

The S-Series switch contains several discrete system management files, including a startup configuration
file ("startup-config"), a running-config file, SFTOS, and a system software file ("boot code"). There are
various reasons why you might want to replace one or the other. For example, for the configuration file, if
you lose your password, you will need to replace the running configuration with the factory default. If you
back up the startup-config file, you can copy that file to the rebooted switch to be used as the configuration
on the next reload.
Regarding the SFTOS software ("software image"), if you move an S50 into a stack, that S50 must run the
same software version as the other members of the stack. This section details procedures that pertain to
those file management activities.
