Pipeline System Administration
Performing system administration operations
8-14 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
To use the tsave command, you must use the diagnostic mode. From the DO
menu, select D-Diagnostics. Then, to save the configuration of the Pipeline with
the MIB field numbers instead of parameter names, enter this command line:
tsave -m <ipaddr> <filename>
For example:
tsave -m 200.253.164.100 all
This saves the entire configuration of the Pipeline with an IP address of
200.253.164.100 to a file called “all”.
Values are saved in the format:
OOOO:MMMM.FFFF
where
• OOOO represents the Occurrence number (if > 0),
• MMMM represents MIB Type (if > 0),
• FFFF represents the MIB field number (if MMMM > 0).
Note:
You can restore a configuration saved with tsave -m with the Diagnostics
trestore command.
Restoring the Pipeline configuration
To restore the Pipeline configuration, you must have administrative privileges
that include Field Service (such as the Full Access profile, for example).
Before you start the restore procedure, verify that your terminal emulation
program has an autotype (or ASCII file upload) feature. Autotype allows your
emulator to transmit a text file over its serial port. You should also verify that the
data rate of your terminal emulation program is set to 9600 baud or lower and
that the Term Rate parameter in the System profile (Sys Config menu) is also set
to 9600. Higher speeds might cause transmission errors.
You can use the Restore Cfg command to restore a full configuration that you
saved by using the Save Cfg command, or to upload more specific configuration
information obtained from Ascend, for example, a single filter stored in a special
configuration file.
