Save the Current Configuration
Before upgrading ExtremeWare, save your configuration using the following steps. This preserves the
ability to downgrade should it become necessary.
1 If you are using the Network Login campus mode:
a Disable Network Login using the
disable netlogin command to prevent users from
re-authenticating during the backup process.
b Use the
clear netlogin state port command on all Network Login user ports, causing all
Network Login users to be unauthenticated and all client ports to move back to their respective
unauthenticated VLAN configuration.
c Use the
show netlogin and show vlan commands to verify that all Network Login ports are in
the unauthenticated state and the client ports are members of their respective unauthenticated
VLANs.
2 If you are using ACLs and the CPU DoS protect feature, ensure that the CPU DoS protect filter
precedence follows the rules described in “CPU DoS Protect and ACL Precedence” on page 93. If
there is a precedence conflict, CPU DoS protect is not enabled.
3 Save the current configuration in both the primary and secondary configuration spaces using the
save configuration primary and save configuration secondary commands.
4 Configure the switch to use the primary image and the primary configuration using the
use image
primary
and use configuration primary commands.
