1.4 Configuration Import/Export
The configuration database of VX-MD4024 contains two kinds of database - inband database and
general database. Inband database contains configuration for the inband channel and is shared by
two boot images (no matter which boot point you choose, the inband configuration keeps the same).
General database contains other configuration.
The VX-MD4024 provides the configuration preservation feature that the configuration database is
stored in flash memory (two partitions available). In addition to the configuration preservation
feature, the VX-MD4024 also provides the configuration export/import feature.
The following paragraph describes how to do the configuration DB export/import in CLI and Web.
In CLI:
(A) Save runtime config. and set to new active DB:
enable
configure
runningcfg save
[<inbandBackup Name>] [<generalBackup Name>]
/*Backup Name is optional. When inband Backup Name is specified, general Backup Name is
also optional. If omitted, use the same name as <inbandBackupName>*/
(B) Choose another DB / (C)
Choose another DB and restart:
(total 16 DB for selection)
enable
configure
runningcfg restore index
<inbandBackupIndex> [<generalBackupIndex>][noreboot]
or
runningcfg restore name
<inbandBackupName> [<generalBackupName>][noreboot]
/*You must add the word “noreboot” for action (B) so that the system will not reboot
automatically once the DB is changed*/
(D) Clear active DB including inband / (E) Clear active DB including inband and restart:
enable
configure
runningcfg clear all [noreboot]
/*You must add the word “noreboot” for action (D) so that the system will not reboot automatically
once the DB is cleared*/
