Restoring a switch configuration
The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the workstation to the switch, and then finishes with a Telnet session and the Config Restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003 in this case, open and FTP session with account name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode using the Put command as shown:
ftp ip_address user:images password: images ftp> bin
ftp> put config_switch_169_10112003 configdata Local file config_switch_169_10112003 Remote file configdata
ftp>quit
The restore process replaces all configuration information on the switch and afterwards the switch is automatically reset. If the restore process changes the IP address, all management sessions are terminated. Use the Set Setup System command to return the IP configuration to the values you want. See the “Set Setup command” on page 147. To restore the switch, open a Telnet session, and then enter the Config Restore command from within an Admin session as shown:
2/8q FC Switch #> admin start
2/8q FC Switch (admin) #> config restore
The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration.
