Backing up the Switch Configuration Settings

FTP must be used on Windows workstations to backup the system configuration. The FTP server must be running before an upload can occur. Use the RSHD service on a UNIX machine.

Note The two supplied utilities, RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE currently do not support uploads for Windows, only downloads. FTP must be used on Windows machines.

1.Verify that the RSHD service (on a UNIX machine) or the FTP service (on a Windows machine) is running on the host workstation.

2.Login to the switch as the admin user.

3.At the command line enter the following command:

configUpload "hostIPaddr", "user", "path_filename","password"

where hostIPaddr is the IP address of the host computer, user is the User ID used to log into this computer, path_filename is the path location and filename of the configuration file, and password is the password for the user ID specified. If only configUpload is entered the system prompts you for each parameter.

Example:

switch:admin> configupload

Server Name or IP Address [host]: 123.45.678.901

User Name [user]: kelev

File Name [config.txt]: switch1

Protocol (RSHD or FTP) [rshd]: ftp Password:

upload complete

Restoring the System Configuration Settings

To restore the system configuration settings from a backup:

1.Verify that the RSHD service (on a UNIX machine) or the FTP service (on a Windows machine) is running on the host workstation.

2.Login to the switch as the admin user.

3.Shut down the switch by entering the following command: switchDisable

4.At the command line enter the following command:

configDownload "hostIPaddr", "user", "path_filename","password"

where hostIPaddr is the IP address of the host computer, user is the User ID used to log into this computer, path_filename is the path location and filename of the system configuration file, and password is the password for the user ID specified.
