Loading a Switch Configuration
The switch configuration file can be seen by accessing the switch console, entering enable mode (typing
en
), and
typing in the command
show run
.

If using the switch documentation be aware the default configuration is not the same as the Avid default
configuration. If you reload the default configuration according to the documentation, you will not get the Avid
default configuration.
This procedure uses an IP address on the switch of 192.168.10.2. You might need to change the IP address written
in the procedure to match your IP scheme. Switches that have not been configured with an Avid file are likely to
use VLAN 1 with the IP address of 209.157.22.154.
This procedure describes how to load a 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 configuration file is located on the Avid ISIS software installer kit [drive]:\Switch Configuration\ISIS
7000\Foundry_Brocade\X4242XG\. Use the X4242XG files for both the X4242XG and X6262XG switches. The
configuration file is typically a text file and can be viewed using an application such as WordPad.
To copy the configuration file from the System Director to the switch:
1. From the System Director, use your terminal emulation program or telnet into switch.
2. Type
en
.
3. Copy the new configuration.
For example type “
copy ftp://administrator:is-admin@192.168.10.2/
ThirdParty/Switch_folder/File_Name
”
When asked to confirm the file copy type
yes
and press
Enter
.
If the copy is successful, you see something similar to the following example on the switch:
Accessing ftp://administrator:is-admin@192.168.10.2/ThirdParty/Switch_folder/
/File_name...

When you perform a reload the switch restarts, you see a Disconnected message, and have to log back in before
continuing. If you connected to the CLI via telnet you might have to change the IP of your Host’s interface to
re-establish a telnet connection to the switch.
