File Transfers

Overview

This appendix explains how you can download new switch software, upload

or download switch configuration files and software images, and upload

command files for configuring Access Control Lists (ACLs). It contains the

following information:

include an additional option for usb as a source or destination for file transfers

(see appropriate sections for command syntax and operations).
