Loading a configuration file

To load configuration commands from a file into the WSS switch’s running configuration, use the following command:
load config [url]
The default URL is the name of the configuration file loaded after the last reboot.
To load a configuration file named newconfig, type the following command:
WSS# load config newconfig
Reloading configuration may resul t in lo st of connectivity, do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n]y
success: Configuration reloaded
After you type y, WSS Software replaces the running configuration with the configuration in the newconfig file. If you
type n, WSS Software does not load the newconfig file and the running configuration remains unchanged.
Caution! This command completely removes the running configuration and replaces it
with the configuration contained in the file. Nortel recommends that you save a copy of the
current running configuration to a backup configuration file before loading a new
configuration.
