Use the Upload File from Device(s) dialog box to upload configuration files from Passport devices.

The following table describes the parts of the Upload File from Device(s) dialog box.

TFTP Server

Lets you enter the IP address for the TFTP server for the operation. The default setting is the TFTP server (if any) specified on the Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Preferences dialog box.

Source File Name

Lets you choose a file to upload.

Destination File Postfix

Lets you enter a base filename for the destination file.
Observe the following points regarding the destination file name:

During the upload operation, the IP address of the device or devices will be appended to the base file name. This feature helps you upload configuration files from multiple devices without overwriting the destination files.

For example, suppose you have entered "config.cfg" as the filename, and selected two devices, 10.160.41.204 and 10.160.41.229. The actual destination files will be named 10_160_41_204_config.cfg and 10_160_41_229_config.cfg.

The destination directory for the upload is determined by the settings of the TFTP server. Review the configuration settings of the TFTP server to determine the destination directory.
The actual destination filename is limited to a maximum of 29 characters, including the appended IP address.
