A – Command Line Interface Working with Switch Configurations
You use FTP to download the configdata file to your workstation for safe keeping and to upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the configdata file, open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Get command as shown:
>ftp ip_address user: images password: images
ftp>bin
ftp>get configdata
xxxxxbytes sent in xx secs.
ftp>quit
You should rename the configdata file on your workstation with the switch name and date, config_switch_169_10112003, for example.
The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the workstation to the switch, then finishes with a Telnet session and the Config Restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003 in this case, open and FTP session with account name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Put command as shown:
ftp ip_address
user: images
password: images ftp> bin
ftp> put config_switch_169_10112003 configdata Local file config_switch_169_10112003 Remote file configdata
ftp>quit
The restore process replaces all configuration information on the switch and afterwards the switch is automatically reset. 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
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> config restore
The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration. Please confirm (y/n): [n] y
