1. Download the PuTTY terminal emulator program: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
2. Connect the Cisco switch to your computer using an Ethernet cable.
3. Open the PuTTY program and enter the IP address of the switch in the “Host Name” field.
4. Select the “Connection Type” as “SSH” and click “Open”.
5. When prompted for the username and password, enter the username and password for the switch.
6. Once you’re logged in, type the command “copy running-config startup-config”. This command will copy the switch’s current configuration to its startup configuration.
7. To save the configuration to your computer, type “copy startup-config tftp://[IP address of your computer]/[name of the file]”. Replace the IP address and the file name with the appropriate values.
8. Once the file has been copied, type the command “exit” to log out of the switch.
9. You can now open the file in a text editor to view the configuration.
