Restoring a switch configuration
The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the workstation to
the switch, and then finishes with a Telnet session and the
Config Restore
command. To
upload the configuration file,
config_switch_169_10112003
in this case, open and
FTP session with account name
images
and password
images
. Transfer the file in binary
mode using the
Put
command as shown:
ftp ip_address
user:images
password: images
ftp> bin
ftp> put config_switch_169_10112003 configdata
Local file config_switch_169_10112003
Remote file configdata
ftp>quit
The restore process replaces all configuration information on the switch and afterwards the
switch is automatically reset. If the restore process changes the IP address, all management
sessions are terminated. Use the
Set Setup System
command to return the IP
configuration to the values you want. See the “
Set Setup command
” on page 147. To restore
the switch, open a Telnet session, and then enter the
Config Restore
command from
within an Admin session as shown:
2/8q FC Switch #> admin start
2/8q FC Switch (admin) #> config restore
The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration.
