CH A P T E R 7 Console Port Use and Troubleshooting

Upgrading Software	If a working switch software needs to be upgraded, it is recommended
	to use the Software Upgrade Wizard in Intel Device View rather than
	the maintenance mode commands. This is easier and the existing con-
	figuration is retained.
Switch Configuration	The configuration information for the switch is stored in two files re-
	siding in flash memory. The two files are named after the MAC ad-
	dress of the switch. One of them, inxxxxxx.p, contains all the basic
	configuration parameters, while the other, STDALONE.nvp, con-
	tains the VLAN policy database.
Backing up the	The two configuration files may be backed up using a TFTP client on
Configuration	an external machine (e.g. MS Windows, Unix or other). Please fol-
	low the documentation for the TFTP client application for further in-
	structions. However, it is recommended to use Intel Device View for
	doing backup of the configurations.
Restoring the	The two configuration files may be restored using a TFTP client on
Configuration	an external machine (e.g. MS Windows, Unix or other), if the
	switch configuration has been lost or corrupted. It is recommended to
	use Intel Device View for restoring the configurations rather than
	manual TFTP.
Reset to Factory Defaults	If the configuration in the switch has been corrupted in such a way
	that the switch is not able to start properly after reset (System LED
	goes red), it may be necessary to reset the switch configuration to fac-
	tory defaults. The RUN Defparm command may be used to do this.
	Please note, that this will discard the existing configuration in the
	switch. This method may also be used, if the configuration by mistake
	has made it impossible to contact the switch by other means. It is also
	the only way to regain access to the switch, if the administrator pass-
	word has been lost.
