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

 

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

 

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 A-53. 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.
