In order to save a copy of your config file on your computer (which I assume you're trying to do) you have to have a TFTP server running on the computer you wish to send that file to, and then enter a command that will copy the file from the device to the server running the TFTP program. Email me and I have a nifty, lightweight, TFTP program I used to use.

Sorry... I'd also like to know how to "reset" or restore the switch to "factory defaults" to be able to go throught the initial setup myself. Thanks.

The original video was much longer... this was just for a class. To erase the config file just type "write erase" and then "reload" to reboot it. If the device is password protected so you can't get in, you'll have to perform a break sequence during boot up and delete the config manually.

Great info! Thank you. I just got a 3548XL to learn on. Can you give me some info on how to save a switch config file?

I just took a look.. the command is

copy run tftp

and then on the next line it'll ask for the tftp server IP

I'm convinced you downed a Red Bull before doing this video, but it was still very helpful. Thanks!
