This page shows how to save and load back the config


Display config to terminal[edit]

show config

Save config[edit]

First it needs to be saved to a file on the switch:

show config outfile slot1/keller_config.cfg

Then this file needs to be copied off the switch (via tftp to the server). For this, the server needs to support tftp uploads. By default, the Tftp daemon on the server should support this, provided that

  • it is running (start it, if needed by setting disable no= in the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file, and doing an rcxinetd reload)
  • the target file already exists (under the /tftpboot root), and is publically writable. If necessary, create it as follows:
mkdir /tftpboot/switch-config
touch /tftpboot/switch-config/keller_config.cfg
chmod 666 /tftpboot/switch-config/keller_config.cfg

This creates an empty keller_config.cfg file with the correct permissions.

When ready, enter the following command on the switch:

copy slot1/kellerconfig.cfg tftp://10.0.0.1/switch-config/kellerconfig.cfg

This should now overwrite the placeholder keller_config.cfg file with its real contents.

If there are problems with this command, just use show config and copy-paste the output to a file using the mouse ;-)

Restore config[edit]

First (if needed) you need to copy the config file from the server to the switchs flash memory via tftp

copy tftp://10.0.0.1/switch-config/kellerconfig.cfg slot1/kellerconfig.cfg

Then you need to apply it:

configure slot1/keller_config.cfg
