Loading the Avid Cisco Configuration

Access the Cisco switch console as previously described either through a serial or Telnet (management IP

address) connection, and do the following.

The Cisco switch configuration file can be seen by accessing the switch console, entering enable mode (typing

), and typing in the command

show run

The default Cisco configuration is not the same as the Avid default configuration. If you reload the default

configuration according to the Cisco documentation, you will not get the Avid default configuration.

Restoring From the Avid Software Kit

This section describes how to restore the Avid default Cisco switch configuration to your switch from the ftp

folder on your System Director. The procedure in this section assumes the following:

• The System Director has been setup and the Avid ISIS software has been installed.

• The switch is connected to the ISIS environment.

• The IP Address on the ISIS | 5500 Engines are configured with the default values (192.168.255.11, 13, 14, 16

for 1 Gb or 192.168.255.21 for 10 Gb)

The Avid default configuration files are also located on the Avid ISIS software installer kit [drive]:\Switch

Configuration\ISIS x000\Cisco\. These are text files that can be viewed using an application such as WordPad.

Copy the switch configuration files to an ftp directory if you want to access the file using the switch.

To copy the Avid configuration file from the Avid software kit to the switch:

1. From the System Director, use your terminal emulation program or telnet into the switch.

2. Type

3. Copy the new configuration.
