Saving the Active Switch Configuration
When the ptcfg command is used, the switch’s active configuration commands (as displayed
using /cfg/dump) will be uploaded to the specified script configuration file on the TFTP
server. To start the switch configuration upload, at the Configuration# prompt, enter:
Where server is the TFTP server IP address or hostname, and filename is the name of the target
script configuration file.
N OTE – The output file is formatted with line-breaks but no carriage returns—the file cannot be
viewed with editors that require carriage returns (such as Microsoft Notepad).
N OTE – If the TFTP server is running SunOS or the Solaris operating system, the specified
ptcfg file must exist prior to executing the ptcfg command and must be writable (set with
proper permission, and not locked by any application). The contents of the specified file will
be replaced with the current configuration data.
/cfg/gtcfg <TFTP server> <filename>
Restoring the Active Switch Configuration
When the gtcfg command is used, the active configuration will be replaced with the com-
mands found in the specified configuration file. The file can contain a full switch configuration
or a partial switch configuration. The configuration loaded using gtcfg is not activated until
the apply command is used. If the apply command is found in the configuration script file
loaded using this command, the apply action will be performed automatically.
To start the switch configuration download, at the Configuration# prompt, enter:
Where server is the TFTP server IP address or hostname, and filename is the name of the target
script configuration file.
