For simplicity, the two PC’s (orworkstations/computers) can be one and the same.To save using TFTP or FTP first ensure that you have the FTP or TFTP server set up andthe switch can ‘ping’ the TFTP or the FTP server. For ftp services, make sure the server cansupport anonymous login or make sure the login password information is available.For saving the configuration, use the same saveconf command listed above.
