How to bakup and restore running configuration on Dell S4148F-OS10

Hello,

You can check that the firewalls between the switch and the TFTP server let TFTP traffic through. If you still have problems, try using SCP or FTP to transfer the configuration files instead. https://dell.to/4dw9VqO

Copy running configuration

The running configuration contains the current OS10 system configuration and consists of a series of OS10 commands. Copy the running configuration to a remote server or local directory as a backup or for viewing and editing. The running configuration is copied as a text file that you can view and edit with a text editor.

Copy running configuration to local directory or remote server

OS10# copy running-configuration {config://filepath | home://filepath |
ftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath |
sftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | tftp://hostip/filepath}

OS10# copy running-configuration scp://root:calvin@10.11.63.120/tmp/qaz.txt

Copy file to running configuration

To apply a set of commands to the current running configuration and execute them immediately, copy a text file from a remote server or local directory. The copied commands do not replace the existing commands. If the copy command fails, any commands that were successfully copied before the failure occurred are maintained.

OS10# copy {config://filepath | home://filepath |
ftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath |
sftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | tftp://hostip/filepath | http://userid@hostip/filepath}
running-configuration

OS10# copy scp://root:calvin@10.11.63.120/tmp/qaz.txt running-configuration

Copy running configuration to startup configuration

To display the configured settings in the current OS10 session, use the show running-configuration. To save new configuration settings across system reboots, copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

OS10# copy running-configuration startup-configuration

Hope that helps!

To back up the running configuration on a Dell S4148F-OS10 switch, you have a few reliable options. If using TFTP via the management port isn't working, you might consider using a USB drive or SCP. For the USB drive method, insert a USB drive into the switch's USB port and execute the command copy running-configuration usb:/<filename>.cfg, replacing <filename> with your desired file name to save the configuration directly to the USB drive.

Alternatively, if you prefer using SCP, ensure SCP is enabled on your switch and that you have access to an SCP server. You can then use the command copy running-configuration scp://<username>@<scp_server_ip>/path/to/backup/<filename>.cfg, substituting <username>, <scp_server_ip>, and <filename> with your actual details.

If you still want to use TFTP, double-check that your TFTP server is operational and accessible from the switch, and that you're using the correct server IP address. The command for this would be copy running-configuration tftp://<tftp_server_ip>/<filename>.cfg.

To restore the configuration from your backup, you can reverse the process, using similar commands to copy the saved configuration back onto the switch.
