Using Maintenance Features
NOTE: You must enable Call-Home Event Notification through the EFC
Manager Maintenance menu before enabling this function through the
Product Manager for individual switches.
Use the Enable Call Home Notification function on the Product
Manager to enable call-home notification for events that occur on the
selected switch. The default state is disabled.
To enable call-home notification for system problems, use the
following steps:
1. Select Enable Call Home Notification from the Maintenance menu on
the menu bar to enable an disable call-home notification.
A check mark displays next to the menu option to indicate that
call-home notification is enabled.
2. Click the check box to add or remove the check mark.
Backup and Restore Configuration
Select this option from the Maintenance menu to save the product
configuration stored on the switch to the EFC Server hard disk or to
restore the product configuration from the EFC Server. Only a single
copy of the configuration is kept on the server.
The purpose of the backup is primarily for single-CTP systems, such
as the Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch, where a backup is needed in
order to restore to a replacement CTP card. You can also use this
feature for a special purpose configuration or for temporary testing of
a configuration. You cannot modify the location and file name of the
saved configuration.
NOTE: You can only restore the configuration to a switch with the same IP
address.
