How di I load an SVSI configuration file to a Cisco Catalyst switch?
Using the CLI, by either a serial cable or telnet/ssh:

- Copy configuration file to usb drive
- Insert drive in to switch.
- You can list the contents of the usb drive by following the example above in the screen shot. dir usbflash0:/
- You should see your configuration file you placed on the drive.
- Copy usbflash0:/"svsi_configuration_file.txt" startup-config
- Reload (when the switch reboots all the parameters set in the configuration will take place)
