The following commands provide configuration file information, and restore backup configuration
files:
cfg
Provides information on the status of system configuration changes. With Manage Mode and/
or CFGEDIT, you can make changes to the system configuration. (This, in turn, changes the .nei
files.) If you do not commit these changes (Manage Mode) or restart your system (CFGEDIT),
these changes do not become current. This command identifies whether or not changes have
been made which are not yet current. The command will display the following information:
restore
Replaces the current configuration files with the configuration backup files (.bak files) located
in the \CONFIG directory, thus restoring the previous system configuration. Because this
command will destroy your current configuration, a warning is displayed when issued:
WARNING:This command overwrites your current configuration files. Are you sure
you want to restore your old configuration? (Y or N)
If you indeed want to restore the old configuration, type “Y”. If not, type “N” (default).
Note that you must have saved configuration changes at least one time before the
restore
command will work.

restart
Generally used from a remote site (when using Telnet or TFTP), although it is functional from
a local console as well. The
restart
command reboots the system and automatically starts
up the system software. Issue this command after making configuration changes with
CFGEDIT, in order for these changes to take effect.
If you prefer, you can make configuration changes and store them remotely. Later, you can
transfer the changes (the .nei files) to the system using TFTP. In order for these changes to take
effect, you would need to issue the
restart
command from the Telnet session of your remote
terminal.
Note: If you lose your Telnet connection within 10 seconds of entering the
restart
command, the command will not be executed.
