The configuration commands can be read out directly from the command-line interface via TFTP.
- To do this, open up a DOS box, for example.
- Enter the following command at the prompt:
C:\>tftp IP address get "PASSWORDreadscript path" script.lcs
- IP address is the address of the device containing the configuration commands you wish to read out.
- PASSWORD is the appropriate password for the device.
- Path defines the branch of the configuration menu tree that is to be read out. If no path is entered then the entire configuration will be read out.
- script.lcs is the name of the script file in the current directory where the commands will be written to.
Note: Please be aware that device passwords will be clearly visible as plain text while entering this command!
