Operator Parameters/Permissions Description
backup
switch
[ServerIP] <serverip>
[Path]
</back_dir/backup_file>
Administrator
Copies the current configuration of the master TSM/CPU
module to a backup file at an end station. This command backs
up the switch configuration only. It does not back up the load
image. It prompts you for the IP address of the workstation to
which you are saving the switch configuration as well as the
backup path and filename. The end station must have TFTP
server software running in order to transfer files from the
switch. If you have previously entered
backup switch
, these
values appear as the parameter defaults for [ServerIP] and
[Path]. The default is the name of the switch—smartcell. If you
change the switch name using
modify switchname,
the backup
filenames are automatically adjusted to reflect this new switch
name.
You can back up directly to the
/tftpboot
directory or create
a subdirectory under
/tftpboot
(for example,
/back_dir
). However, your backup file must exist under the
/tftpboot
directory or the sub-directory on the target end
station. The backup file can be created with any name. Both the
directory and file must have appropriate read and write
permissions to complete the backup successfully.
restore
switch
[ServerIP] <serverip>
[Path]
</back_dir/backup_file>
Administrator
Restores the switch configuration from a prior backup. It
requires an IP address, as well as the file name. As with
backup
switch
, this command also requires TFTP protocol. The switch
must be rebooted after
restore switch
for the new
configuration to take effect.
