Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To upload statistics files to a PM server, use this command to configure connection parameters, including the transfer protocol, IP address, and port number of the PM server.

If the PM server uses a private IP address, you can use the net-manager-vpn parameter to specify a network management VPN or use the vpn-instance vpn-instance-name parameter to specify a VPN instance to upload a performance statistics file.

Precautions

Using FTP to upload performance statistics files is insecure. Therefore, using SFTP is recommended.

Example

# Configure the device to upload performance statistics files to the SFTP server with the IP address 10.1.1.1.
