IBM L2/3 manual Capturing the current configuration, Example 5-1 Example configuration file dump

7.If the download location is the same as the location for the currently loaded OS image, the switch warns you that a failed download could result in an inoperative switch. If the download location is different from the location of the currently loaded OS image, the image file downloads. After the download is finished, the switch asks whether you want to use the old location or the new location. Figure 5-6 on page 37 shows a successful download of the OS image to image2.

8.Type /boot/reset to reset the switch and reboot with the new firmware files.

Capturing the current configuration

There are a few ways to capture the current configuration in the CLI. The first is to use a TFTP server to push the configuration file from the switch to the server. However, in some text editors the resulting file is a single long line of text. (We suggest using WordPad.) Although this method requires a TFTP server running in the network, it does work with any Telnet client. To capture the configuration by pushing a file to a TFTP server:

1.Enter /cfg/ptcfg at the command line.

2.Enter the IP address of the TFTP server.

3.Enter the filename to which you want to save the file.

A second way to capture the current configuration does not require a TFTP server. This method, however, requires a terminal emulator that can capture text. Example 5-1uses a Windows® Telnet session to capture the text. The commands on the switch are the same for any software, but the steps to set the software to capture the text might be different. If your terminal emulator does not support this, you have to use the TFTP method. Using a Windows Telnet session and issuing the /cfg/dump command, the full switch configuration can be dumped.
