Saving and Restoring Configurations

The Save configuration utility performs a discovery of the configuration of a device and saves it to a file. After it is saved to a file, the Restore configuration utility is used to restore the configuration to that device, or it can be used to apply the file to other devices with similar components.

You can initiate a device save or restore in any of the following ways:

From the File menu of the IP Telephony Manager Console

From your network management platform (HP OpenView). For information on how to save and restore a device from your network management platform, refer to your network management User Guide.

From the UNIX command line. For information on saving and restoring operations from the command line, refer to Appendix B, Command Line Interface

There are four ways to save configurations:

Saving a Chassis Configuration to NVRAMThe Media Gateway configuration can be saved to a file on the network.

Component Save to NVRAMMost components contain their own nonvolatile read access memory (NVRAM). The Media Gateway’s current configuration can be saved to its NVRAM and later retrieved through a direct command or by resetting the component.

NMC Save Chassis to NVRAMAn entire device’s configuration can be saved to the NMC NVRAM.

Saving Chassis Configurations from CFMThis feature lets you save the configurations of every component of a device to a file (for example, the configuration of all the cards and channels in a chassis, and the servers).

There are two ways to restore the configurations:

Restoring a Chassis Configuration from NVRAM—An entire device's configuration can be restored from a file on the network.

Restoring Chassis Configurations from CFMThis feature lets you restore the configurations of every component of a device from a file (for example, the configuration of all the cards and channels in a chassis and the servers). The device configuration can be restored to that device, or applied to other devices with similar components.

Saving a Chassis Use the following procedure to save a Media Gateway chassis configuration to Configuration to NVRAM using the IP Telephony Manager.

5210 specifications

The 3Com 5210 is a robust and reliable networking switch designed to meet the demands of modern IT environments. Aimed at businesses looking for a balance of performance and manageable costs, the 5210 series provides essential features that cater to the needs of various industries.

One of the standout features of the 3Com 5210 is its support for high-performance switching. With a switching capacity of up to 104 Gbps, the device is built to handle a significant amount of data traffic, making it suitable for environments with heavy workloads. Coupled with a forwarding rate of 77.4 million packets per second, the 5210 guarantees minimal latency, ensuring that data is transmitted swiftly and efficiently across the network.

The 5210 switch supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, allowing for flexibility in network design and operational efficiency. The Layer 3 functionality enables IP routing, facilitating better traffic management and segmentation across IP networks. This is particularly useful for organizations looking to optimize their network performance and ensure efficient load distribution.

In terms of security, the 3Com 5210 incorporates advanced features designed to protect enterprise networks from potential threats. The switch supports VLANs, which help in segmenting network traffic, along with port security features to minimize unauthorized access. Moreover, it provides access control lists (ACLs) that allow administrators to define rules for data transmission, enhancing overall security.

The device is also equipped with Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which prioritize different types of traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they require. This is crucial for businesses that rely on voice over IP or video conferencing, as it ensures clear and uninterrupted communication.

Management and monitoring are simplified via a user-friendly web interface, allowing network administrators to configure settings, monitor traffic, and troubleshoot issues easily. The switch supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enabling remote management and ensuring that IT teams can respond to problems without being physically present at the location.

The 3Com 5210 is characterized by its reliability and durability. Built with robust hardware components, the switch is designed for continuous operation, suitable for both small offices and larger enterprise networks. With its combination of performance, security, and manageability, the 3Com 5210 stands out as a valuable asset for organizations aiming to enhance their networking capabilities.
