Configuring the Switch Switch Configuration
Once you enter these parameters and reboot the switch, you can log off the local console connection. You can perform
all additional configuration over your Ethernet network using a telnet session.
Note Only one console connection is allowed at any time. To reach the SmartSwitch
6A000 through telnet, you must exit the local terminal connection by entering the
exit command.
The following is an example of the initial configuration session. Note that your start up screen may look slightly
different, but the same information is requested.

3.1.1 Backup Configuration
Backup configuration consists of setting up the SmartSwitch 6A000 to save configuration backup files. The backup
configuration file contains all configuration changes made to the switch. For example, the backup file contains ELAN
information, port configuration changes, PVCs, filters, and so on.
Note The backup file does not contain an image of the switch operating firmware. For
information on upgrading or replacing switch firmware, see the SmartSwitch
ATM User Guide.
Perform the following steps to configure backup capabilities.
1. On a workstation that can be reached by your SmartSwitch 6A000 and is running TFTP server
software, create a file under the /tftpboot directory. This file is used as the backup file by the
SmartSwitch 6A000, and can initially be blank.
2. Make sure that the SmartSwitch 6A000 has full read/write privileges to the file.
3. Enter the backup switch command on the SmartSwitch 6A000. Specify the IP address of the TFTP
server and the full path and file name to the backup file. For example:
SmartSwitch # backup switch
ServerIP() : 206.61.237.40 —
IP address of the backup TFTP server
Path(public/Smart6A000.ztr) : /tftpboot/backup.ztr
— full path and file name
