5Reboot the router as prompted to validate the configuration files.

Write completed, please reboot the router.

When performing offline editing and loading of configuration files, you are recommended to do it under the guidance of technical support personnel. If a wrong configuration file is loaded, restore the default configuration by erasing the configuration file in the Flash or NVRAM (depending on the equipment).

TFTP Approach

With this approach, you can use the get command to download the configuration files from the TFTP server after booting the router.

Like the preparation done before loading the 3Com Router main program with TFTP, the TFTP server application should be enabled on the PC, and the transferring path for downloading the configuration files, IP address of the server host, and the number of the port to be used should be set. After all these preparation tasks have been completed, you can perform the following configuration on the router. For the procedure, refer to Upgrading with TFTP.

Perform the following command in system view.

FTP Approach

The procedure of loading configuration files with FTP is the same as loading the main 3Com Router program software with FTP, except for the files to be loaded. When loading configuration files with FTP, however, the step 6 described in “FTP Approach”on page 41 should be modified as follows:
