To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug]command.File Transfer ServicesWith Dell Networking OS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using the filetransfer protocol (FTP).One FTP application is copying the system image files over an interface on to the system; however, FTP isnot supported on virtual local area network (VLAN) interfaces.If you want the FTP or TFTP server to use a VRF table that is attached to an interface, you must configurethe FTP or TFTP server to use a specific routing table. You can use the ip ftp vrf vrf-name or iptftp vrf vrf-name command to inform the FTP or TFTP server to use a specific routing table. Afteryou configure this setting, the VRF table is used to look up the destination address. However, thesechanges are backward-compatible and do not affect existing behavior; meaning, you can still use thesource-interface command to communicate with a particular interface even if no VRF is configuredon that interface.For more information about FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.NOTE: To transmit large files, Dell Networking recommends configuring the switch as an FTPserver.Configuration Task List for File Transfer ServicesThe configuration tasks for file transfer services are:• Enable FTP Server (mandatory)• Configure FTP Server Parameters (optional)• Configure FTP Client Parameters (optional)Enabling the FTP ServerTo enable the system as an FTP server, use the following command.To view FTP configuration, use the show running-config ftp command in EXEC privilege mode.• Enable FTP on the system.CONFIGURATION modeftp-server enableExample of Viewing FTP ConfigurationDell#show running ftp!ftp-server enableftp-server username nairobi password 0 zanzibarDell#Configuring FTP Server ParametersAfter you enable the FTP server on the system, you can configure different parameters.To specify the system logging settings, use the following commands.Management 73
