FTP server configuration example

Network requirements

• As shown in Figure 28, an IRF virtual device comprises a master and a slave FTP server. The member

ID of the master is 1 and that of the slave switch is 2.

• The IRF virtual device serves as an FTP server, and the PC serves as an FTP client. The IRF virtual

device and the PC are reachable to each other.

• The PC keeps the updated boot file of the IRF virtual device. Use FTP to upgrade the IRF virtual

device and back up the configuration file.

• Set the username to ftp and the password to pwd for the FTP client to log in to the FTP server.
