How to Collect run-config

For scenarios with large AP counts, it is possible that the command "show run-config" can have incomplete output, and miss either RF or configuration entries for some of the APs

To prevent this, the best way is to collecct the output using transfer-upload facility, with data type "run-config". This is as well a lot faster that using the show command

For example:


(3500-3-AX) >transfer upload datatype run-config

(3500-3-AX) >transfer upload serverip 192.168.0.45

(3500-3-AX) >transfer upload mode tftp

(3500-3-AX) >transfer upload filename 3504-run-config.txt

(3500-3-AX) >transfer upload start 

Mode............................................. TFTP  
TFTP Server IP................................... 192.168.0.45
TFTP Path........................................ ./
TFTP Filename.................................... 3504-run-config.txt
Data Type........................................ Run-config
