Restoring System Configuration Settings
Use these steps to restore the system configuration settings from a backup.
1. Verify that the RSHD service or the FTP service is running on the host
computer.
2. Log in to the switch as the admin user.
3. At the command line, shut down the switch by entering:
SWITCHDISABLE
Because the switch is disabled, a warning message about the switch status is
displayed.
4. Enter:
CONFIGDOWNLOAD HOSTIPADDR USER PATH_FILENANME PASSWORD
where HOSTIPADDR is the IP address of the host computer, USER is the User
ID used to log into this computer,
PATH_FILENAME is the path location and
filename of the configuration file, and
PASSWORD is the password for the User
ID specified.
Note: The password operand is required only if you are using FTP.
If only CONFIGDOWNLOAD is entered, the system will prompt you for each
parameter, as shown in the following example:
switch:admin> configdownload
Server Name or IP Address [host]: www.xxx.yyy.zzz
User Name [user]: admin
File Name [config.txt]: switch1
Protocol (RSHD or FTP) [rshd]: ftp
Password:
Download Complete
5. Restart the switch by entering:
FASTBOOT
