Working with SAN Router Configurations
Successful management of routers with the command line interface depends on
the effective use of router configurations. Modifying configurations, backing up
configurations, and restoring configurations are key router management tasks.
A.3.1
Modifying a Configuration
The router has three major areas of configuration:
■
Management port configuration, which uses the following commands:
❑
Set Mgmt (see appendix A.25.6)
❑
Show Mgmt (see appendix A.26.11)
■
ISCSI port configuration, which uses the following commands:
❑
Set iSCSI (see appendix A.25.4)
❑
Show iSCSI (see appendix A.26.6)
A.3.2
Saving and Restoring Router Configurations
Saving and restoring a configuration is useful to protect your work or for use as a
template in configuring other routers.
A.3.2.1
Save Router Configuration and Persistence
Perform the following steps to save the router’s configuration and persistent data.
Persistent data consists of LUN mappings, discovered FC targets, and discovered
iSCSI initiators.
1. Execute the Fru save CLI command (see appendix A.10) to generate a file
(iSR-6142_FRU.bin) containing the saved data. This file is stored locally on the
router in an FTP directory.
2. Transfer the saved data from the router to a workstation by executing an FTP
utility on a workstation. The following text is an example of an FTP transfer to
get the saved router configuration data:
c:\>ftp 172.17.137.102
