When NV data is saved, it is written to a disk ﬁle on a host computer. The information can then be retrieved from the disk ﬁle when you use the restore command.

To save NV data:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

system nvData save

You are prompted for information for saving the data. To use the value in brackets, press [Return] at the prompt. Any entry for IP address, ﬁle name, and user name becomes the new default.

2Enter the IP address of the station to which you want to save the NV data.

3Enter the ﬁle path name where you want to save the ﬁle.

4Enter your user name on the host system.

5Enter your password on the host system.

6Enter a name of the ﬁle (optional).

Example:

Host IP Address [158.101.100.1]: 158.101.112.34

NV Data file pathname: usr/jones/systemdata

User name: Tom

Password:

Enter an optional file label: Labdata

If the information is incorrect or a connection could not be made with the speciﬁed host, a message similar to the following is displayed:

Login incorrect.

Error: Could not open ftp session

If a session is successfully opened, a system message notiﬁes you of the success or failure of your save as in the following examples:

Success System NV data successfully stored in usr/jones/systemdata of host 158.101.112.34.

Failure Error - Configuration not stored.
