restore

Unzips a system archive created by the backup command and copies the

 

files from the archive onto the switch.

 

Syntax restore system [tftp:/ip-addr/]filename[all

 

critical]

 

„ [tftp:/ip-addr/]filename— Name of the archive file to load. The

 

archive can be located in the switch’s nonvolatile storage or on a TFTP

 

server.

 

„ all — Restores system files and the user files from the archive.

 

„ critical — Restores system files only, including the configuration file

 

used when booting, and certificate files.

 

„ force — Replaces files on the switch with those in the archive, even if

 

the switch is not the same as the one from which the archive was

 

created.

 

CAUTION: Do not use this option unless advised to do so by 3Com TAC.

 

If you restore one switch’s system files onto another switch, you must

 

generate new key pairs and certificates on the switch.

 

Defaults — Critical.

 

Access — Enabled.

 

History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.2.

 

Usage — If a file in the archive has a counterpart on the switch, the archive

 

version of the file replaces the file on the switch. The restore command does

 

not delete files that do not have counterparts in the archive. For example, the

 

command does not completely replace the user files area. Instead, files in the

 

archive are added to the user files area. A file in the user area is replaced only

 

if the archive contains a file with the same name.
