If you examine the saved Pipeline data file, notice that some of the lines begin
with START= and other lines begin with END=. These START/STOP lines and
the block of data contained between them constitute a profile. If a parameter in a
profile is set to its default value, it does not appear. In fact, you can have profiles
with all parameters at their defaults and the corresponding START/STOP blocks
would be empty. Make sure that there are no extra lines of text or characters
either before START= or after END=. If there are, delete them; they could cause
problems when you try to upload the file to the Pipeline.
The tsave -a command option supplies a listing of all parameter settings. To use
tsave -a, you need access to a host with a TFTP server. To produce the listing, use
Telnet to access the Pipeline unit. From the DO Command menu, select
Diagnostics mode, and enter the command using the syntax shown below:
tsave -a nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn file.name
Where:
Note:
You can restore a configuration saved with tsave -a with the Diagnostics
trestore command.
By default, the text configuration file you can create using the tsave command
contains the VT100 interface parameter names. The -m option allows you to save
the configuration file with the MIB field numbers instead.
-a Lists all the menu items in the software for the unit.
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn Is the local IP address of a host with a TFTP server.
file.name Is the name of an empty file you create first in the TFTP
boot directory of the host.
Be sure you have read/write access to the file. (If you
run into problems, the reason usually has to do with
lack of read/write access.)
The output file is written to the TFTP boot directory of
the host.
