556CHAPTER 18: FILE MANAGEMENT COMMANDS

If the archive’s files cannot fit on the switch, the restore operation fails. 3Com recommends deleting unneeded image files before creating or restoring an archive.

The backup command stores the MAC address of the switch in the archive. By default, the restore command works only if the MAC address in the archive matches the MAC address of the switch where the restore command is entered. The force option overrides this restriction and allows you to unpack one switch’s archive onto another switch.

CAUTION: Do not use the force option unless you are certain you want to replace the switch’s files with files from another switch. If you restore one switch’s system files onto another switch, you must generate new key pairs and certificates on the switch.

If the configuration running on the switch is different from the one in the archive or you renamed the configuration file, and you want to retain changes that were made after the archive was created, see the “Managing System Files” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.

Examples — The following command restores system-critical files on a switch, from archive sysa_bak.

WX1200# restore system tftp:/10.10.20.9/sysa_bak

success: received 11908 bytes in 0.150 seconds [ 79386 bytes/sec]

success: restore complete.
