Configuration Management
Configuration management tasks performed from the command line
include:
• Upgrading firmware
• Copying the configuration to and from a remote host
• Resetting the configuration to defaults
Upgrade Firmware
To upgrade firmware, use the “boot” command. See "boot" on page 51.
Copy the Configuration to and from a Remote Host (Backup/Restore)
To use the command line to copy the configuration to and from a remote
host, use the “cpconf” command. See "cpconf" on page 58.
Reset the Configuration to Defaults
To reset the configuration to factory defaults or the latest version stored in
NVRAM, use the “revert” command:
#> revert all=factory
or:
#> revert all=nvram
Alternatively, you can use the “boot” command:
#> boot action=factory
The “revert” command allows you more control over which portion of the
configuration is restored. That is, you can also use the “revert” command’s
“range” option to define a range of ports with the “serial,” “port,” “line,”
“flow,” “keys,” and “login” options. For more details, see "revert" on page
79.
