save current config in a file in extreme switch

[sumeet]

we have summit X460-24t switch

usually I telnet to it and run
show config
log the contents of telnet session to a file
The problem is when screen fills up I get 'press space to continue or q to quit' , then I have to press space .
Is there a better way to get current config ?

Thanks.

Netsight or Extreme Management Center - is that web browser based access ?

as you said and I also found out (http://askubuntu.com/questions/599558/tftp-error-code-2-access-violation-tftp-not-working) . I touched two_dec2016-413pm.xsf in /tftpboot folder and then did

X460-24t.2 # tftp 172.16.101.6 -v "VR-Default" -p -l two_dec2016-413pm.xsf
Uploading two_dec2016-413pm.xsf to 172.16.101.6 ... done!
Note: the blocksize option is not supported by the tftp server.
Without this option, the maximum file size is limted to
32mb. Some older servers may be limited to 16mb files.

Will try other options too.

This might also work for you (Upload and Download commands)

To Upload a file from the switch to a TFTP server, use the tftp put command:
tftp [ip-address | host-name ] { -v vr_name } [ -p ] [ { -l local-file | } { -r remote-file } | { -r remote-file }
{ -l local-file } ] tftp put [ ip-address | host-name ] { vr vr_name{local-file { remote-file}

To Download a file from a TFTP server to the switch, using the tftp get command:
tftp get [ip-address| host-name ] { vr vr_name } remote-file { local-file } {force-overwrite}

It is true that some tftp applications like Netsight or Extreme Management Center disable the tftp ability to let anyone do the tftp and the reason for this is to prevent people from placing files on your machine (could be some bad files).
What you could do is to create the dummy filename like two_dec2016-413pm.xsf via dos (I just go to the tftp folder and type edit two_dec2016-413pm.xsf and when the window opens I throw in a few characters and then save it).

next step would be:
X460-24t.3 # tftp 172.16.101.6 -v "VR-Default" -p -l two_dec2016-413pm.xsf

Another option is if you have:
Netsight or Extreme Management Center
you can highlight the switch and right click on it and select: execute command script and type in the commands:

disable clipaging
show command you want
enable clipaging

When you run the application and it completes, then this gives you the option to save it.

disable clipaging will eliminate the 'press space to continue or q to quit' to mention.

Also it is always best practice to use SSH over telnet so that you are sending your login credentials to the switch encrypted instead of in clear text.
