Saving the Configuration File 0 After the FC1202 initial installation and configuration or after any changes are made to the FC1202, you must save the configuration file to a local host. The configuration file contains all configurable parameters such as IP address and mapping information. This configuration file can be uploaded to a replacement FC1202 bridge and eliminate the configuration portion of this instruction. To save a configuration file using the FTP utility: 1 Click FTP Utility from the Utilities menu. The FTP Utility screen displays (see figure 25). 26 FC1202 Upgrade Procedure Quantum PX500 Series FC1202 Upgrade Instructions 81-81351-01 A01 June 2005 Figure 25 FTP Utilities Screen The FTP utility requires the use of a JAVA applet and prompts for permission to install the applet, if needed. If the prompt is displayed, follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. The FTP utility then prompts for permission to run the applet. Note: Internet access is required to verify the signature for the FTP applet and to download the JAVA applet plug-in for your browser. 2 Enter the User Name, Password, and the IP address of the Interface Controller and click Connect. If necessary, click Browse to scroll through a file list. Note: The configuration file should be named <myconfigfile. cfg> when typing it into the FTP window. The following file types can be downloaded from the Interface Controller: · · · Configuration (. cfg) Traces for the current boot cycle (curtrace. txt) Traces from the previous boot cycle (prvtrace. txt) 4 Click Binary Transfer mode. 5 To download a file, click Get from Rtr.
