Loading a Conguration File
Caution: This command completely removes the running conguration and replaces it ith the
conguration contained in the le. D-Link recommends that you save a copy of he current
running conguration to a backup conguration le before loading a new conguration.
To load conguration commands from a le into the switch’s running conguration, use the
following command:
load cong [url]
The default URL is the name of the conguration le loaded after the last reboot. To load a
conguration le named newconfig, type the following command:
DWS-1008# load cong newcong
Reloading configuration may result in lost of connectivity, do you wish to continue? (y/n)
[n]y
success: Configuration reloaded
After you type y, MSS replaces the running conguration with the conguration in the newconfig
le. If you type n, MSS does not load the newconfig le and the running conguration remains
unchanged.
Resetting to the Factory Default Conguration
To reset the switch to its factory default conguration, use the following command:
clear boot cong
This command removes the conguration le that the switch searches for after the software
is rebooted.
To back up the current conguration le named configuration and reset the switch to the
factory default conguration, type the following commands:
DWS-1008# copy conguration tftp://10.1.1.1/backupcfg
success: sent 365 bytes in 0.401 seconds [ 910 bytes/sec]
DWS-1008# clear boot cong
success: Reset boot config to factory defaults.
DWS-1008# reset system force
...... rebooting ......
The reset system force command reboots the switch. The force option immediately restarts
the system and reboots. If you do not use the force option, the command rst compares the
running conguration to the conguration le. If the les do not match, MSS does not restart
the switch but instead displays a message advising you to either save the conguration
changes or use the force option.
