3Com 3500 manual For example, If you enter y, the system displays the following messages

system nvData restore 111

Press Return at any prompt to accept the current or default value in brackets.

2Enter the IP address of the host on which the NV data file resides.

3If you are using TFTP and your implementation requires a full path name, enter the full NV data file path and filename. Some implementations allow you to specify only the file name; the system uses the default TFTP directory.

When you restore system NV data, the software compares the system IDs, module types, and module revisions (if applicable) between the saved configuration and the system on which you are restoring the image.

■If the system finds an exact match between system IDs, module types, and module revisions, the system displays a reminder message and prompts you for verification before performing the restoration (see step 4).

■If there is not an exact match between system IDs, module types, and module revisions, the system displays a warning message and prompts you as follows:

WARNING - mismatch between saved system IDs (27DA00) and

current system (28E100)

Do you want to disregard this and continue the restore (n,y)

[y]:

If you want to continue the restoration, enter y (yes). If you do not want to continue, enter n (no).

4At the next prompt, to have the system NV data restored as requested, enter y (yes). To terminate the restoration, enter n (no).

For example:

Restoring nonvolatile data may leave the system

in an inconsistent state and therefore a reboot is necessary after each restore.

Do you wish to continue? (y/n): y

■If you enter y, the system displays the following messages:

Restoring nonvolatile data...done

Nonvolatile data successfully restored

The system automatically reboots itself after it restores the NV data.

■If you enter n, the restoration ends and the previous menu appears.
