How to Export Switch Configuration Files and Find the IP Address for a MAC on an S5700 Switch
This guide details the steps to export a configuration file from a Quidway switch using TFTP and to identify the IP address assigned to a specific MAC address on an S5700 switch by querying the ARP table.
This guide explains how to export configuration files from a Quidway switch and how to locate the IP address associated with a particular MAC address on an S5700 switch.
First, confirm the configuration file name by listing zip files in the flash memory:
<Quidway> dir *.zip
The output shows entries such as:
Directory of flash:/ Idx Attr Size(Byte) Date Time(LMT) FileName 0 -rw- 589 Nov 04 2010 20:55:54 vrpcfg.zip
Export the configuration file using TFTP:
<Quidway> tftp 10.164.30.29 put vrpcfg.zip vrpcfg-bak.zip
The switch reports:
Info: Transfer file in binary mode. Uploading the file to the remote TFTP server. Please wait... TFTP: Uploading the file successfully. 589 bytes sent in 0.01 second.
This method works for exporting any required file.
Second, to find which IP address is assigned to a specific MAC address on the S5700, use the ARP table:
dis arp | in 5CDD-709D-FAF
This command filters the ARP entries for the given MAC and reveals the corresponding IP address.
