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.
