This document describes how you upload a configuration to or download a configuration from a LANCOM GS-23xx(P)-series switch using TFTP and/or SCP, and also how you upload a firmware file to the device using TFTP and/or SCP.
Requirements: - LANCOM managed switch of type LANCOM GS-23XX(P)
- Switch firmware version 2.83 or later (download)
- SCP-capable software such as Cygwin or PCSP (from the PuTTY family) for uploading/downloading using SCP.
Instructions on how to update the firmware of LANCOM switches is available in
this Knowledge Base document.
Procedure:
Make sure that the user account on the switch that you wish to use to perform the upload/download has the necessary user rights.
You can set user rights in the configuration under System → Account → Privilege LEVEL → Maintenance. The value 15 must be entered here.
1) Upload/download using TFTP (unencrypted):
1.1) Open the switch configuration and navigate to the menu Security -> Access Management -> Auth Method.
1.2) Set Authentication Method for TFTP to the value local if you wish to perform TFTP access using a user account that exists on the switch. As an alternative, you can use RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication.
