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

xxxxx bytes 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

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 B-49. To restore the switch, open a Telnet session, then enter the Config Restore command from within an Admin session as shown:

SANbox2 #> admin start

SANbox2 (admin) #> config restore

The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration.
