restore

Restores configuration settings to an out-of-band switch from a backup file named configdata, which must be first uploaded on the switch using FTP. You create the backup file using the Config Backup command. Use FTP to load the backup file on a switch, then enter the Config Restore command. After the restore is complete, the switch automatically resets. Refer to ”Backing up and Restoring Switch Configurations” on page B-3.

Note:

„ If the restore process changes the IP address, all management

 

sessions are terminated. Use the Set Setup System command to

 

return the IP configuration to the values you want. Refer to the ”Set

 

Setup Command” on page B-49.

Saves changes made during a configuration edit session in the configuration given by [config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the value for [config_name] you chose for the most recent Config Edit command is used. [config_name] can be up to 31 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration.

Notes If you edit the active configuration, changes will be held in suspense until you reactivate the configuration or activate another configuration.
