NOTE
If the switch is rebooted while in the middle of saving a configuration, the switch boots to factory default settings if
the previously saved configuration file is overwritten. The configuration that is not in the process of being saved is
unaffected.
Viewing a Configuration
You can view the current configuration on the switch by using the following command:
show configuration {<module-name>}
You can also view just the portion of the configuration that applies to a particular module (for example,
SNMP) by using the
module-name
parameter.
You can send output from the
show configuration {<module-name>}
command to the Extreme
Networks Technical Support department for problem-solving purposes. The output retains the
command line interface (CLI) format of the current configuration on the switch.
Returning to Factory Defaults
To return the switch configuration to factory defaults, use the following command:
unconfigure switch
This command resets the entire configuration, with the exception of user accounts and passwords that
have been configured and the date and time.
To erase the currently selected configuration image, reset all switch parameters, and reboot the switch,
use the following command:
unconfigure switch {all}
Using TFTP to Upload the Configuration
You can upload the current configuration to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on your
network. The uploaded configuration file retains your system configuration and is saved in Extensible
Markup Language (XML) format. This allows you to send a copy of the configuration file to the
Extreme Networks Technical Support department for problem-solving purposes.
You are unable to view configuration files with a text editor. To view your current switch configuration,
use the
show configuration {<module-name>}
command available on your switch. For more
information about the
show configuration {<module-name>}
command, see the ExtremeWare XOS
Command Reference Guide .
To upload the configuration to a TFTP server, use the following command:
tftp [<host-name> | <ip_address>] -p -l <local_file>
