Storing and Retrieving Configuration Parameters

77

Activating the When the configuration files are downloaded into flash memory, they Downloaded overwrite the previous information. The new parameters are not Configuration activated immediately, but rather after the next reboot when they are

read from the flash memory. The CoreBuilder 7000 assumes that the user wants to reboot the switch as soon as possible to activate the new configuration parameters. Therefore, subsequent to a configuration download, all LMA and SNMP set operations are blocked until the next reboot – except for the configuration upload/download and reboot operations.

It is recommended, therefore, to perform a configuration download only when you are ready to reboot and activate the new parameters.

Cards should not be “hot swapped” after a configuration download until after the next reboot.

Uploading the To store (upload) the configuration of a card installed in the CoreBuilder Configuration of a chassis from flash memory to disk, first make sure that the switch is

Card connected to the TFTP server and that it is in single-IP mode and then perform the following steps:

1Perform the LMA menu command:

(1)SYS\ (3) LOA \(6) TCU

2The LMA automatically presents you with a list of the installed cards whose configuration you can upload to disk, for example:

Module Types:

 

1<Switch

module 7000>

2<Slot 3

- 7600>

3<Slot 4

- 7600>

4<Slot 5

- 7400>

5<Slot 6

- 7200>

Select Module: 1

Select the appropriate card from the list—for example, if you want to upload the configuration of the active switch card, select 1 from the menu.

3The types of configuration data you can upload are displayed as follows:

File Types:

1<All>

2<Box Profile>

3<ATM Addresses>

4<PNNI Configuration>

5<LANE Security>

6<PVC Connections>
