Restoring Factory Default Configuration Files

The administrator can restore the factory default configuration files from the

factory_default_files.gz file by performing the following

procedure while logged in as root through the console, via telnet, or via

any ssh session to restore the configuration files to the state they were in

when the OnBoard shipped. For how to restore factory defaults while you are

saving a boot image from RAM memory onto the resident flash memory, see

“To Upgrade to a Boot Image From a Network Boot in U-Boot

Monitor Mode” on page 414.

T To Restore the Factory Default Configuration

Files From the Command Line

1. Log into the console as root.

2. Enter the restoreconf command with the factory_default

option.

Adding New Files to Be Backed Up and Restored

The /etc/config_files file lists all files to be backed-up and restored,

including its own filename.

If you add an application, or a script, or a data file to the system, make sure to

add the file’s pathname to the config_files file.

T To Configure an Added Script or Other File

for Backup and Restoration

1. Log into the OnBoard command line as root.

Change to the /etc directory.

3. Open the config_files file for editing.

[root@OnBoard /]# cd /etc

[root@OnBoard /]# vi config_files
