Chapter 19 Upgrading Avaya M770 ATM Switch Software

Activating a configuration file

You can restore an old configuration file stored in the flash directory that was generated with the system snapshot command.

To activate a configuration file, use the flash config command.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>flash

config <filename>

Example

M15-155s8:/>flash

config new_cfile

Parameters:

<filename>

The name of the configuration file that you wish to

 

 

activate

Note: The restored configuration file will only be activated when the switch is next rebooted.

Note: After activating a new configuration file and performing a reset to the module, the module takes longer than usual to boot because it is using the new values. Because of this, when activating a configuration file that has switch-wide parameters (such as the ATM prefix or IP address) different from the current RAM settings, the module needs to be alone in the switch. If there are other modules in the switch, the module using the new config file will take longer to boot up, and another module in the switch will become the Master Agent and use the old switch- wide settings.

When the module reboots using the new configuration file, the current LANE configuration is saved in the file config.bak. If you need to restore the previous LANE configuration, you need to perform the following steps.

1.Delete the file config.data using the flash delete command.

2.Rename the file config.bak to config.data using the flash rename command.

3.Reset the module using the <- -> reset pushbuttons on the module front panel.

Deactivating an active configuration file

To deactivate an active configuration file, use the flash config disable command.

Command: M15-155s8:/>flash config disable

Output:

No configuration file is currently active.
