Customize the EtherXtend default settings
When installing EtherXtend software for the first time with auto-provisioning,
auto-provisioning creates default bridges and configures the IP interface. (For
a description of EtherXtend auto-provisioning, see
EtherXtend
auto-provisioning on page 49 ).
Note: When upgrading an EtherXtend from versions of the software
without auto-provisioning to a version of the software with
auto-provisioning, auto-provisioning will overwrite existing bridges
and the IP interface with default settings.
After running auto-provisioning and changing the configuration of the
EtherXtend, you can save that configuration to a
default file to restore your
configuration later when needed. This default file will override factory default
settings created by auto-provisioning. The system will use this file after a
set2default command when there is no configuration currently on the system.
You can also use this default file created on one system as a common base
configuration for other systems by uploading the file to a server and
downloading the
default file to the other systems.
Using customized EtherXtend default settings
Follow these steps to create a new default file that the EtherXtend recognizes
every time the device is set to defaults. You can also use the default file to
configure multiple EtherXtends.
1
Configure the EtherXtend with your unique settings for bridging, hosts,
VLANS, IP addresses, etc. as needed.
2 Verify that you are in the card1 directory before creating the default file:
zSH> cd /card1
zSH> pwd
/card1
3
Create the default file that stores your configuration and place that file in
the onreboot directory with dump file directory/filename :
zSH> dump file /onreboot/default
4
Place the default file on multiple EtherXtends, if needed, by uploading the
default file to a TFTP server, then downloading that default file from the
TFTP server onto each EtherXtend:
a Upload the default file with file upload [ TFTP server ipAddr ] [ source
filename ] [ destination filename ]:
zSH> file upload 172.16.100.123 /onreboot/default /
default
The source filename can include the directory path to the file.
