Restoring the System Configuration Settings
To restore the system configuration settings from a backup:
1.
Verify that the RSHD service or the FTP service is running on the host workstation (Windows
or UNIX).
2.
Log on to the switch as the admin user.
3.
Shut down the switch by entering the following command:
switchDisable
.
4.
At the command line enter the following command:
configDownload "hostIPaddr", "user", "path_filename","password"
where
hostIPaddr
is the IP address of the host computer containing the configuration file,
user
is the User ID used to log into this computer,
path_filename
is the path location and
filename of the system configuration file, and
password
is the password for the user ID
specified.
Note:
The password operand is only required if you are using FTP.
5.
Reboot the switch by entering the following command:
fastBoot
.
Next Steps
Specific tasks remain to be completed before the switch is fully operational and manageable in your
network with your equipment. These tasks and the associated tools are described in the remaining
documents shipped with the product on the Documentation CD. This section provides specific
guidance for completing tasks that many users may need to do.
Setting QuickLoop Mode on Ports
The default configuration for a port is fabric mode. QuickLoop is used to connect private hosts to
private storage using the Fibre Channel network. A QuickLoop zone, connecting two switches,
may be used to expand the number of private hosts and storage connected. An entire switch can be
set to operate in QuickLoop mode using the
qlEnable
telnet command. A port on a switch
operating in Mixed mode can be set to or removed from QuickLoop using the telnet commands
qlPortEnable
and
qlPortDisable
. See the QuickLoop User’s Guide for more details.
