edit [config_name]
Opens an edit session for the configuration given by [config_name]. If you omit
[config_name], the currently active configuration is used.
list
Displays a list of all available configurations on the switch. This keyword does not
require an Admin session.
restore
Restores configuration settings to an out-of-band switch from a backup file named
configdata, which must be first uploaded on the switch using FTP. You create the
backup file using the Config Backup command. Use FTP to load the backup file
on a switch, then enter the Config Restore command. After the restore is
complete, the switch automatically resets. Refer to “Back Up and Restore a
Switch Configuration” on page 5-14.
save [config_name]
Saves changes made during a configuration edit session in the configuration
given by [config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the value for [config_name]
you chose for the most recent Config Edit command is used. [config_name] can
be up to 31 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The switch
supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration.
Notes Changes you make to an active or inactive configuration can be saved, but will not
take effect until you activate that configuration.
NOTE: If the restore process changes the IP address, use the
Set Setup System command to return the IP configuration to the
values you want. If the IP address is unknown, you must place the
switch in maintenance mode and reset the network configuration to
restore the default IP address 10.0.0.1. Refer to the installation
guide for information about using maintenance mode.
Configuration archive files created with the Enterprise Fabric Suite
2007 Archive function are not compatible with the Config Restore
command.
The configdata backup file does not include the security group
primary or secondary secrets, and therefore are not restored. You
must edit the security database and reconfigure the secrets. If they
are not, the switch will isolate from the fabric.
