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.

Could be , my tftp server running on ubuntu desktop is not allowing upload.
Will verify , then tell.

Does extreme switch run a tftp server ?
Then I can 'get' file from it . what is default tftp directory on extreme switch ?

Hi Sumeet,

The syntax of the command is below and be sure to mention the VR over which the TFTP server is reachable and mention the VR in the command explicitly, it is either vr-mgmt or vr-default or any other user creates as per your network is configured.

tftp -v "VR-Mgmt" -p -l

#save configuration as-script two_dec2016-413pm
I got file two_dec2016-413pm.xsf in current folder
I am running tftp server on PC with ip 172.16.101.6

Hi Sumeet,

You can back up the configuration file to an external TFTP server as well. The below link gives you the information on loading the configuration file from the TFTP server into the switch and also on backing up configuration file from the switch to the TFTP server.
Follow the below link for the information,
