4 SWITCH ADMINISTRATION

This chapter contains software and hardware procedures that you might need to perform on your SmartSwitch 9A100 switch. These procedures include

•Backing up switch configuration

•Creating routes and connecting switches

•Using switch events and alarms

•Creating PVC connections

•Managing switch traffic

•Using low-level boot load switch commands

•Upgrading switch software

•Saving switch core dumps to a TFTP server

4.1BACKING UP AND RESTORING SWITCH CONFIGURATION

Once your SmartSwitch 9A100 ATM switch is up and running or you have made extensive changes to the configuration, you should back up the switch configuration. If the flash RAM gets formatted or corrupted, you can restore the switch configuration from the backup file.

Note The backup command backs up only the configuration files. It does not back up an image of the operating software.

To perform a back up or restore, you must have TFTP server software running on an end station that’s reachable by the SmartSwitch 9A100. The backup command copies the configuration files on the switch to a directory specified by the TFTP server software. Often, this directory is /tftpboot; however, it may be different with your TFTP server software. Backup file names can be anything. Both the target backup directory and its file must exist and have appropriate read and write permissions for the backup to complete successfully.

The backup command prompts you for the IP address of the TFTP server end station, the backup path, and the name of the file within which you are saving the configuration. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server end station is 90.1.1.100, and you want to save the switch configuration in the file named config-1 under the directory /back_dir, enter the following:

SmartSwitch# backup switch

ServerIP() : 90.1.1.100

Path() : /back_dir/config-1
