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.
