76CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING THE COREBUILDER 7000 FAMILY ATM SWITCH

You cannot upload or download configuration parameters to a switch card while it is installed as a redundant switch card. You need to remove the card from the chassis, install it in a different switch chassis as the active switch card and then perform the upload/download operation, as described below. Afterwards, return the card to its slot in the original chassis.

Uploading Selected The CoreBuilder 7000 allows you to upload selected types of Data Types configuration data. The types of configuration data you can upload

depends on the card you selected. For the switch card, the types of configuration data you can upload are as follows:

■All Configuration Data

■Platform Parameters

■ATM Addresses

■PNNI Configuration

■LANE Security

■PVC Connections

■LECS Topology

■LECS Order List

For a CoreBuilder 7X00 card, the data types are as follows:

■Platform Parameters

■Static

Organizing The uploaded configuration files can be named using a naming Configuration Files convention of your choice. Normally, you will want to include information

about the data type, the card type and a date or other identifier in the file name. For example, you might use file names like cfg_7000_12jun98 and static_7600_1.

When you download configuration data from the files on the disk to the card, you designate the card by its slot number. The slot can contain the original card from which the data was uploaded, or it can contain another card of the same type.

If you try to download configuration data which was uploaded from one type of card type to another type of card, an appropriate error message is issued.
